This cemetery is completely fenced off, with about 4 or 5 graves in it. There is no gate, and the 5 strands of barb-wire discourage climbing through the fence. The coordinates of this waymark are about as close as you can get to the graves. If there is a way to get in, it is not visible from the road-accessible side of the cemetery.
It does not have an entry in FindAGrave.com, and the few Willis graves recorded in the adjoining Dry Valley Cemetery FindAGrave entries do not match the headstones in the tiny Willis Family Cemetery. So its graves are unrecorded at this time. (Apparently the Willis family liked doing things differently from other folks, because there is another Willis family cemetery in Greene County with only 4 Willis family graves; instead of being interred in one of the other, larger cemeteries.)
The road up to both Willis Family Cemetery and the Dry Valley Cemetery is a bit rugged. Look for the entrance at
