Directions: From Ravenswood, go north on Rt 68 about 5 miles. The church is on the right side of the road and the cemetery is behind it.
Clement Matheny visited the cemetery in April 15, 2009 and took photographs of all of the stones. The pictures are cropped and resized for faster viewing but if you want a better quality picture, email your request to Betty Briggs.
