CEMETERY

Located approximately 600' West of Conley Tire at Staffordsville on US 460.
There is a gas line path up the hill to the right (North). Go through the gasline gate and
travel approximately 150' and then leave the dirt road and turn straight up the hill to
the left (follow the route of gas line). It's about 250' up the hill and then look up to
the left and you will see the point. Cemetery is located just inside the woods approximately
20 feet where the gas line right of way stops

**There are a couple graves with only field rocks for headstones, with no names inscribed.

NOTE:
The condition of the cemetery was in pretty good shape considering no one appears to have done
anything to it in manyyyyyy years. Other than heavy vegetation, the graves were in good conditon.
By this I mean no sinking. The wrought iron fence in almost all down and much of it is missing.
