This small cemetery is right along busy State Secondary Route D. I had passed it many, many times and didn't realize it was there. The small sign is parallel to the road, so you have to look north at just the right time to see it. The graves are all hidden within the trees that line the highway for miles. There is no parking place, and there is no shoulder to speak of on the north side of the road. When you visit the cemetery it is best if you head east on D and pull over on the south shoulder as far as possible; then wait until the traffic is clear and cross the road.
According to FindAGrave, the earliest burial was in 1870 and the last was in 1918; so I doubt that there will be any more here! Many of the markers have been supplemented with small treated-wood crosses, and it looks like some crosses replace lost markers.
