This cemetery is very large, in spite of FindAGrave only listing (at the time of this posting) 31 graves! The cemetery has an "inset" cemetery that is surrounded by a native stone wall. This is a feature often found in Southern US cemeteries, since the (then) slaves were buried in a separate subdivision of the cemetery.
This cemetery has no sign, but it is identified in topographic maps and in FindAGrave (link below) as Belmont Cemetery, which makes sense since it is in Belmont. It is right along Woodlawn Avenue. There is no distinctive cemetery entrance, just a grassy lane. It is on this lane that I took the coordinates for this waymark. So steer toward the coordinates and you'll find a place to park, and to turn around.
