| Directions: | |||||||||||||
| Go east out of Roachdale on US 236 about ¼ mile. There will be a brick house, then a white house with barns behind it just west of the Roachdale Cemetery. Go through the barnlot and follow a lane that goes south across a stream and though an open area to the cultivated field. When you get to the field, turn right (west) and follow the north edge of the field about ¼ mile. The cemetery is to the north in a patch of woods. As a point of reference, it is also about 100 yards south and a little east of the brick house referred to above. | |||||||||||||
| Condition: Fair | |||||||||||||
| This cemetery was maintained at one time. It should be mowed a time or two each summer. There are a few mature trees that should be cut out. There is a fence around the cemetery, but the fence is in poor condition. The fence needs to be either removed or replaced. Groundhogs have rooted around in the area. A load of dirt and some shoveling to level the ground would really help. | |||||||||||||
