This cemetery is in 2 sections and is divided by the Des Plaines River. If you're in one section you can drive across the bridge inside the cemetery to access the other section. The bridge is very safe and I have driven over it many times. There are several other waymarks located in this cemetery in the Zinc Headstones category and Broken column category.
