| This cemetery is on private property. Obtain permission from property owner before visiting this cemetery. | |||||||||||||
| Directions: | |||||||||||||
| Go about three miles west of Stilesville on US 40, or about three miles east of Mt. Meridian, to Co Rd 825E, which is the Chandler Farm produce building. Turn south on 825E and go about ¾ mile. On the east side of the road will be a limestone house, then a metal building off the road. The cemetery is just north of the metal building in the woods. | |||||||||||||
| Condition: Fair | |||||||||||||
| Most of the stones are lying flat on the ground in a cow pasture. It is difficult to determine the original location of the stones. There is no fence keeping the cattle away from the cemetery. The stones should be reset and the area should be fenced to keep cattle out. | |||||||||||||
