There is no driveway into this cemetery, nor road within it, and it is fenced off from the road. That did not surprise me since I have seen many such cemeteries. The first thing that
did surprise me is that the sign on the gate has the GPS coordinates of the cemetery! This is the first time I have ever seen a sign, for anything, that had the GPS coordinates; though I now know that there is a Waymarking category for such things. Isn't this interesting? You had to know how to get to this cemetery, so that you could read the sign to find out how to get to this cemetery...
The coordinates I have given in this waymark are not the same coordinates given on the sign. Instead, the coordinates for this listing are where you can park your car, over a culvert that leads to a separate field which contains a crumbling stone building (hmmm). It is only a few steps to the single gate (person width, not car width) with the aforementioned sign. The cemetery is then laid out on the hillside before you.
Apart from a bunch of undated grave markers, the oldest recorded graves are from 1874, and the latest recorded graves are from 2002. According to both FindAGrave and the cemetery sign, the alternate names for the cemetery are Hanna and (as hand-scrawled on the sign) Riverside.
