To get to this cemetery from Greenbrier Drive, just at the point where it crosses back to the north of the tracks, you turn at about N36°56.231',W094°08.535 onto what looks like a private driveway that goes right past a trailer house to the west-southwest. After about 420 feet you come to the cemetery on the right/north.
FindaGrave calls this just the Nimmo Cemetery, but the sign says Ramsowr-Nimmo. To further confuse things, only the oldest Ramsowr graves are spelled that way; the newer ones are spelled Ramsour. Since this poster was there on Memorial Day, there were family members visiting the graves. They told me that the name Ramsour (or Ramsowr) is pronounced just as RAM and SOUR (opposite of sweet). The one man said that his mother had been buried here at the end of 2013.
The oldest grave is from 1862: John Ramsowr.
