| Coordinates: | 38.9061ºN -82.0040ºW | |
| Maintained by: | unknown | |
| Land owner | unknown | |
| Date last visited | May 2012 | |
| Condition of cemetery**: | Abandoned / Overgrown | |
| Accessibility: | Moderate Access. From Letart, head West on Co Rt 15/Sandhill Rd for 4.8 miles. Turn right (North) onto Co Rt 7/Sassafras Rd and go 0.5 mile. On right side of road is a metal gate that enters a large field (looking east). I walked beside field on right (south) side (being careful to not step on any plants in the field) about 1000 feet. Where the field curves North, the cemetery is on the right (heavily overgrown, with some poison ivy in spots). There are some beautiful stones here. This cemetery is in dire need of a friend to cut the brush and weed whack the vegetation. It is highly probably that a few stones were missed because of the heavy overgrowth. | |
