The cemetery is north of the highway about 200 yards and behind a brick home. There is a narrow road leading to the cemetery. The part of the cemetery that is recorded here is fenced and gated. There is an ajoining section outside the fence on the north side that is overgrown with trees and vines. Perhaps someday that section will also be recorded. The graves there are much older. This survey was done by a group of high school students from Westminster Christian Academy of Huntsville, AL during their 2003 Winter Break Interim Activity.
