This cemetery is on private property. Obtain permission from property owner before visiting this cemetery.
Directions:
Go south of Roachdale on Co Rd 250E for two miles to Co Rd 1100N. Turn right and follow 1100N west about two miles. About halfway between 100E and the Meridian Line Road there is a farm with a white house, a red barn and some grain bins on the left. Go south through the barnlot. About 100 yards south of the barn, there is a lane running to the right (west). Follow this lane through the farm fields and across a small ravine. Continue west to the top of the hill. The cemetery is at the top of the hill, at the south edge of the field.
Condition: Good
Cemetery has a stone wall around it, which is starting to deteriorate. The property owner has maintained the cemetery over the years. Prior readings indicate more stones than those standing. We restored this cemetery in 2004.
