Take the Mineral Wells exit off of I-77. Take Rte 14 south for about 3 miles. Turn right onto Chesterville Road. Travel Chesterville Road for about 4 miles to the top of the hill. Take the road to the right at the top of the hill. Go about 100 yards. You will need to park along the road and walk from this point. Follow the hill around to the left. You will see the shelter for the cemetery out through the field about 200 yards.

This is a private family cemetery on property that was once owned by John and Martha Deem Brand. The property is now owned by Dr. Bean. The cemetery is well kept.

This is a complete reading of all existing headstones when I walked and transcribed this cemetery in Sep 10, 2011.
