I was on the other side of the O'Riley's looking at a dense bunch of bushes and wondering how this could even be a cemetery. A man walked up to me and ask me what I was doing. I told him I was looking for a cemetery that is supposed to be here. He replied "you aren't going to find it, because its over there", point across the parking lot.
After walking about a block along the side of the road, I came to a white sign hanging on the fence. The fence is is very bad condition and what lies inside is even worse.
If there is a head stone here, it is going to take some major brush clearing to find it.
