At Youngs Mill Rd., turn left (north) and drive 0.5 mi north to Hammett Rd. Bear right (northeast) on to Hammett Rd and drive 2..2 mi to the church. The church is on the right (east). The cemetery is located about 500 ft behind the church toward the east. It is visible from in front of the church.

Comments:

While the cemetery is basically laid out in rows, there are many jogs in the reported rows in the survey. In addition, several short rows were defined between other major rows. These short rows are identified with fractional designation such as 9,1, meaning that this short row is between Row 9 and Row 10.
