Rileyville All photos by Ken Gissy, May 2004 This cemetery is completely overgrown and neglected. I was able to locate only two headstones although numerous unmarked stones mark the location of other graves. To get to the cemetery go down Young Lane, cross the creek, proceed up the road and take the road that veers uphill off to the right. At the top of the hill the road turns to the right into a corn field, follow along the fence line about a quarter mile. Off to the left you will notice a square shaped area about 100 feet from the fence line - this is the cemetery. Submissions requested | ||

Cemetery is Located off Grove Hill River Road in Ingham. Coming from 340 N after you pass the entrance to Shenandoah Gap Subdivision the road will take a sharp right, away from the river up a hill, at the top of the hill there is a trail / road entrance with a wire across it. If you get to the big open field on the left you have gone too far, take down the wire and take the road to the right, follow it until the end, ( Note; you are on a private right of way and you will go behind someone's home please be respectful and don't drive on the grass if wet from rain.) Also this is a very tight road you might want to leave your car at the bottom and walk. All photos by Stuart Lucas. | ||
