Small and old, no sign, just up on a hill among farm fields. Not used often. A sign of how many people here use their church facilities.

Location of cemetery: 4th St., Marthasville
Number of graves: 152

This cemetery has one of the most unusual tombstones I have even seen. The gravesite is enclosed by a wire fence, and the marker is a metal plaque attached to the fence. Grave of Nancy McVay, 15 years old.

Note: 4th St., is a gravel road, and one lane, you will think you are on someones driveway, but keep going, and you will find the cemetery at the top of the hill.
The are no signs of any kind, not leading to, nor at the cemetery itself.

You will find on Wikipedia and other sites a bunch of wrong information. The Bryan Family (Farm) cemetery is listed on Wikipedia and WebRoots as the "Marthasville City Cemetery" which is just wrong. People read a couple of pamphlets and think they are experts and make contributions of Wikipedia and Roots and Ancestry, and they have no back up or confirmation, and these site publish the errors. It is and always has been the Bryan Family Cemetery. [Also referred to as Boone Monument site]. This is Marthasville City Cemetery.
