This cemetery is on
private property. Obtain permission from property owner before visiting this
cemetery. |

Directions: |
|
|
|
This cemetery is
very difficult to find without a GPS devise. I’ll try to give some directions
here, but save the harsh words if you try to find this cemetery without a GPS
and can’t. Go east of Roachdale on US 236 to Co Rd 450E, which is the first
road to the right past the Roachdale Cemetery. Go south on 450E about 1½ mile
to Co Rd 1100N. Turn left and follow 1100N east to the bottom of the hill. If
you cross Big Walnut Bridge, you’ve gone too far. At the bottom of the hill
the woods end and there is a field to the left (north). Go through the gates
(after obtaining permission) and
follow the lane on the west edge of the field as it winds its way more or
less north along the edge of the field. Eventually you will come to an
east/west line fence. Hop the fence and continue north through another
cultivated field to the northwest corner of that field. Go up the hill to the
northwest. The cemetery is at the top of the hill, just west of the
north/south fence. |

Condition: Fair |
|
|
|
Cemetery is in
woods. The standing trees are not much of a threat, and in fact are shading
the area which keeps the weeds down. It wouldn’t hurt to mow the area. I’m
convinced there are more stones. Most of the existing stones are in good
shape. There are a few that have broken in half that should be repaired. |
