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.
