Turn right and continue about 1/2 mile. The property is on the left side of the road. There is a gap-gate in the fence where you enter the property and walk about 1/4 mile into the field, turn left and go about 400 feet climb a barbed wire fence and you can see the chain link fence surrounding the cemetery.
