Edwards Cemetery #2 is located in the Coffee Ridge area of Spivey Mountain, Unicoi Co., Tennessee.  From Erwin, take I-26 towards Asheville, NC and exit Temple Hill Road.  At the end of the ramp, make a left, proceed under the highway and at the stop sign, make a right on US Highway 19-23W.  Continue for about 1.5 miles after which time, the road forks at Ernestville.  Make a left on US 19W [Spivey Mountain Road] heading towards Burnsville, NC.  The winding road cuts through Spivey mountain pass.   Proceed on 19W for about 1 mile and then make a right on Coffee Ridge Road [look for the Coffee Ridge Baptist Church sign].  Crossover the bridge and proceed for about 3/4 mile on until you come to a fork.  This is the Coffee Ridge Loop; bear to the right and proceed on the loop until you see the Coffee Ridge Baptist Church.  The cemetery is behind the church on top of the hill.   There are many unmarked graves with crosses.
