"This cemetery is very hard to reach and includes driving thru a bean field, up a steep hill and past a field of cattle. From the man at the headstone establishment, 'stay to the left of the bean field, turn right at the red cattle gate and the cemetery is at the top of the hill'". - comment contributed by Jackie Ennis, 2004.
