To reach this cemetery, from Main Street in Lyons, drive north on Hwy 14 for 3 miles. Turn west onto J Ave and continue for 1.8 miles. The cemetery is between 14th & 15th Roads on the south side of the road.

This is a old, small family cemetery which dates back to the late 1880s, judging from the stones. I found it is well mowed, but some of the stones are in bad repair.

I walked this cemetery in Nov of 2010, using my digital camera. This includes all existing and legible stones and markers found at that time.
