Collard Cemetery
St. Rt. 52, Ohio Township
N 38˚ 55.907 W 084˚
15.749 within 18ft. 475 Elev.
Directions: Take St. Rt. 52 out of New Richmond towards the
east. As you begin to drive east on St. Rt. 52 and have
been exiting out of New Richmond for a few moments look for the Frank
Willis Memorial Road on left. You will pass
this road. Start looking for the gravel pull-off on the left
side. This is where you will want to park. This and
the cemetery
are about 800 ft. from Frank Willis Memorial Road. You will
have to walk across Route 52. Plan to go during a non-rush
hour time, you will have no problem.

This cemetery really surprised me as I
did not know it was this old. Most of the stones are gone but
I was able to find a few. Misleading --
looking at it from the road. You need to walk way back to the
edge of the woods and also constantly
look to your feet on the way -- some are laying flat throughout the
lot. If you go during warm weather
the mosquitoes are unbearable.
