Location: 3 miles south on highway 70 from the Afton turn
off, intersection of Highways 70 & 193, the turn east on county
road 232. Go east 1 mile, the cemetery is located on the north
side of the road just prior to the intersection with county road
235.
The land was owned by the Matador Land and Cattle
Company and they deeded it to the Elders of the Amity Church of Christ for
Church and cemetery purposes only. If it is used for any other purposes, it
reverts back to said company.
