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

Directions:

Go south of US 36 on Co Rd 25W, which is commonly referred to as Shortcut Road, for about one mile to the intersection with Co Rd 500N. Or go east of the Somerset Church to the intersection of Co Rd 500N and 25W. Go east of the intersection of 500N and 25W to the first house on the north side of the road. The house sets well off the road and is built into a hillside. Go north down the lane towards the house. There will be a field to the left and a field to the right. Pay attention now. When the field to the left stops, which will be about 100 yards south of the house, stop. Get out of the car and look to the east. There will be a hill going up through the field. At the top of the hill, there is a small patch of woods, with a ravine dropping off to the north. The field will continue east on the south side of the woods. The cemetery is about 50 feet east into the woods, just south of the ravine. A GPS devise will be a big help in finding this cemetery.

Condition: Poor

Cemetery is in a wooded area near a field. There are a lot of briars just outside the cemetery which need to be cut. The cemetery should be mowed and the stones reset.
