To reach this cemetery from Saint Joe go about 2 1/2 miles north on Rayl Road (or) from Haven, KS go about 4 miles east on State Highway 96, go 6 miles south on Worthington Road then about 1 mile west on Silver Lake Road, then about 1/2 mile south on Rayl Road. The Cemetery sits on the east side of the road.

This is a very small family cemetery with no name I could find, so have named it after the oldest burial in the cemetery. If anyone has more information about it, please contact me.

The last burials date back from 1890. There are eight marked graves and it appears to be well maintained.

I walked and read this cemetery on Sep 20, 2008. It includes all existing and legible headstone readings at that time.
