From Ripley. Go south on I-77 and take exit 132. Turn left onto Old US 1. After going under I-77, turn right at Parchment Creek Rd/Lukes Dr. After about one-half a mile, turn left (north) onto Lukes Dr/Old US Hwy 21. Stay to the left at the intersection of Staats Mill Rd and proceed on Cedar Lakes Dr/Lukes Dr. Turn right (east) at Tug and Bear Fork aka Co Rd 25/1. Proceed on this for 3 to 4 miles. Turn left at the intersection with Buffalo Lick Run onto Co Rd 34/3. After 1.8 to 2 miles, at the intesection of Zion Ridge/Co Rd 34/1, turn left (north)and proceed up a hill for approximately 500 ft. The cemetery is on the right side of the road up an embankment. It is difficult to spot going up the hill. If you miss it, simply drive to the top of the hill and turn around. It is much easier to spot going down the hill. The fenced-in area is about 15 feet square and only one grave was found. If it hadn't been for the fence around the grave, the cemetery would never have been found. As one can see from the photograph, the site is poorly maintained.
