     From Cox Creek Parkway in Florence, go North on County Road 47 to just past Lone Cedar Church of Christ; Left on County Road 73 to its merge with County Road 34 and continue NW.  The cemetery is on the Left, across the street from mailbox # 977 on County Road 34.
     There are numerous field stone markers in this cemetery.
     Reportedly, at one time a Primative Baptist Church stood near the cemetery. About 1911 the church was so decayed it fell down and then was destroyed.
     The last burial recorded was in 1940.  The legal description is NW 1/4, Section 23, Township 1, Range 10.
