This
cemetery is located just northwest of Goldtown, down Cunningham
Hollow road to the top of the ridge. Turn right into the drive
for the "new" house (the Greg Monday residence, per April
2005) as you come to the top of the ridge, and park behind the house
by the barn (do check in with the Monday's to let them know who's
parking in their yard and your destination). The road the rest
of the way to the cemetery, while not too terrible when dry or if you
have a 4x4, is probably not one that should be driven by the average
car or small truck.
If you park at the Monday's, it is a fairly short, pleasant stroll
down the wooded roadbed to the cemetery. The steepest part of
the walk is at the beginning, so you can gauge your abilities to
that.
As the road starts to rise a bit and veer to the left, with a deep run
dropping down to the left, the cemetery will be about 50 feet off the
road to your right in an obvious clearing. Incidentally, this roadbed
continues around the ridge and comes out in the meadow above Rock
Springs Cemetery, another Harrison family cemetery like this one.

There
are clearly other burials here that are unmarked - sunken graves, field
stone markers, etc. Further research required & input from Harrison
family researchers would be appreciated to try and achieve as complete a
cemetery roster as possible.
