Directions:
From the light by the Childress county courthouse at the intersection of US Hwy 287 and Commerce Street go 3 blocks east on Hwy 287. Turn north on Farm Road 268 3rd St. NE and go 1/2 mile north. The cemetery is on the east side of Farm Road 268. It is the city's main cemetery, in good condition and still accepting new burials.
