Directions: From US 158 northbound turn right on Forbes Rd. (SR 1118) and go .4 of a mile where the road makes a curve and go straight up a field path .3 of a mile to the woods. In 1989 there appeared to be 4 more graves, however, they were in extremely thick underbrush. When visited in 2000 by the photographer, he said that there was a thick briar patch surrounding the cemetery and that there appeared to be other graves which were mostly rubble.
