R. 60 and T. R. 59, proceed to the first brook that crosses the road. Just before the brook on the left (northerly) is an old roadway. About 50 yards up this road is an old cellar hole on the left. Continue past the cellar hole staying on the old roadway for another 50 yards crossing an old stone culvert to a junction in the old roadway. Take the right fork (easterly) approximately 50 yards to the burial ground.
An alternate route, should the roadway become overgrown, is to travel easterly up the brook from T. R. 59 approximately 150 yards. The cemetery is located about 20 yards from the brook on the left (northerly) side.
The cemetery was rebuilt in the fall of 1998 by relatives of individuals buried here. They have removed the old stones and erected new granite stones as well as erecting a new picket fence about two feet in height.
