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

Directions:

Follow Co Rd 425W south out of Manhattan. After about 1/2 mile you will cross a bridge and go up a hill. Near the top of this hill the road makes a 90 degree turn to the left. At this point, go south along the edge of a field and woods to the southwest corner of the field. Go west into the woods about 50 yards to the cemetery. The cemetery is in the middle of a plateau that falls off to the north, west and south.

Condition: Fair

There are three or four old fieldstones in a wooded area. The surrounding trees are in pretty good shape and are shading the area, so there is not much vegetation or undergrowth.
