Directions:
This cemetery is on the east side of 850W north of 900N on the current Jim Williams land. Between two fields there is a strip of woods going east.  The cemetery is on the farthest southeast corner of the woods.

Corners:
NW: N39°53.843’ W86°40.825’
SE: N39°53.831’ W86°40.808’

Approximate Center:
N39°53.837’ W86°40.817’ or
N395350 W864049

Condition:
This cemetery is partially fenced but not mowed or maintained.  The southwest corner is completely covered in thornbushes and barely passable even in the fall.  The rest of the cemetery is covered in lilies.  Three graves were found in a row, with possible burials in between.  There are most likely no other rows in the small cemetery.  The northernmost grave is marked with a slotted base.  The tablet stone was probed for but not found.  The middle stone is a medium-sized three-part stack stone for Eppy J. Hypes (see below for biography information).  The base has sunk backwards into the grave and both top pieces slid off and sunk.  The top piece was dug out of the ground and placed next to the base.  The middle section remains deep in the ground.  The southern most grave is marked with a small level stack base.  The top pieces were probed for but not found. A footstone was found to the east and slightly south, indicating that there were possible two burials marked by the headstone. A family member indicates that the twin boys of Melvin and Anna Woodrum (born/died April 16, 1917) are also buried here, though their graves are most likely unmarked.
