Directions: |
|
|
|
Go west of Roachdale
on US 236 about two miles to Co Rd 50W. Turn right on 50W going north to
where the road curves to the east, then back north. Continue north about ¼
mile. There is a lane at the edge of two fields to the right (east). Follow
this lane to the fence. Follow the fence east, then south, then back east
again. Go to the extreme northeast corner of this field. The cemetery is just
across the fence in the woods. |

Condition: Good |

Cemetery is in woods
near the edge of a cultivated field. With the owner’s permission, we cut
sapling trees in this cemetery and performed a general clean up of fallen
trees and underbrush in the fall 2003 and reset some stones. There are a few
large monoliths that are leaning and could stand to be reset. |
