Directions: From Savannah, travel north on Highway 59 to Highway CC. East on CC for 2.1 miles to State Road 421. Southwest on SR 421 for 0.6 miles to house and through property to where the dirt/gravel road splits into a “Y”. Take the right fork, which will probably be fenced across by a electric wire, for 0.2 miles. Cemetery is on the left of the road, up a slight grade. Do not proceed into the next pasture.
