From the intersection of Hwy 8 and Cantrell Road (CR 38) in Rosboro, take Cantrell Road west for .6 miles. The road will split. Continue on Cantrell Road (Right fork, dirt road) for 1.6 miles. The cemetery is located on the left side of the road behind the barn.

Go another .1 miles to Robert Tucker Mobile Home on the left and ask permission to see the cemetery. There are no markings to indicate the cemetery other than it has three cement enclosures. I was informed there were five graves located here, however I could only find three. They were all overgrown with briars and vines.

My wife, Sharon, and I walked this cemetery on Dec 28, 2010.
