To reach the cemetery from Whaleyville, drive west on Shavox Church Road. Take a right onto Blueberry Road and travel approximately 1.5 miles until get to a bend in the road that continues on to a farm. Turn left into cornfield and follow farm road to cemetery. The cemetery is in the middle of the cornfield and is surrounded on most sides by a concrete wall.

This cemetery is in extremely poor condition. Weeds are thick and approximately waist high. Half of the stones are knocked over. Luckily, all stones are legible.

I walked and transcribed all existing headstones in this cemetery Oct 25, 2003.
