From Interstate 270 go north about 3 miles on Highway 355 until you reach Davis Mills Road turn east there and go 1 mile until you reach Watkins Road then turn and go north 1 mile. The cemetery is on the west side of the road ontop of a hill.

This little cemetery was in terrible condition, when I visited on Nov 14, 2002. As I walked through, I found sunken graves and headstones that were broken and off their foundation. Also many broken trees and overgrown vines and wild roses. It is a pretty sad sight.
