Driving east from Troy on Hwy 8 turn right onto Little Bear Ridge Road. As you continue for about 7 mi, hang right on all choices until the left curve in Little Bear Ridge Road. The cemetery will be on the right, just after the intersection with Wirschmeier Rd.

This is a very small community cemetery. It appears to have been badly neglected at one time and now is being restored. Many of the old burial sites are either missing or hard to read. Much empty space in the rows, leading me to believe there may be many unmarked graves.

When I visited it was in excellent condition, and appears to have a lot of room for new burials. I was not able to find a contact person.

If anyone knows of burials I am missing, I would be very happy to add if you contact me. Entries followed by an asterisk are those I have no photo of.

I walked and surveyed this cemetery Jun 18, 2005, using a digital camera. This includes all existing and legible tombstones. If interested in a copy of a photo you may contact me.
