Directions: Take Red Bud Rd. exit (Exit 315) off Interstate 75
onto Hwy.156 West. This is also called Red Bud Rd. At the traffic
light at the intersection of Red Bud Rd and Hwy. 41, turn left. At
the next traffic light, turn right onto Hwy.156. You will
immediately cross a railroad. From this traffic light, go 10
miles. After topping a small hill, the white church can be seen on
the left side of the road. Turn left before the church. The cemetery
is on the left side of that small road. |

indicate location and to show relationship of one grave to another
to help with family identifications.
