Directions: From the junction, in Petersburg, of Rte. 97 & Rte. 123, turn east on to Rte. 123 and drive for approximately 1.5 miles to the Curtis Blacktop. Turn left on to the Curtis Blacktop and go 3.7 miles to the Country Hills Golf Course Road. The Curtis Blacktop makes a sharp curve to the right but you should go straight on to the Country Hills Golf Course Road. Follow the Country Hills golf Course road for 0.5 miles, where the road starts a sharp curve to the right, you should notice a grassy lane. This grassy lane leads back to the cemetery. Do not go around the curve to the right or you have gone too far. Richard Holliday is in charge of this land and should be contacted before entering this private property. From the road you can see the cemetery about half a mile and a half away. It is fenced and there are four large old trees there.
Directions provided by: Jeanie Lowe.
