Directions: From Amazonia take State Route T to Nodaway. Cemetery is on
the left side of road, to the north of the abandoned church. Walk over the bridge
and stay to the south of the chain-link fence. The path goes up a gradual slope,
and then up a 10-foot high, very steep hill. From there the path becomes a gradual
incline. The cemetery is on the top of the bluff.
Note: According to a local resident, the bottom of the bluff was, until the 1940s, a rock quarry, which was closed when the blasters began finding bones from the cemetery.
