Maintained by:	unknown
Land owner	unknown
Date last visited	Oct 2006, May 2012
Condition of cemetery**:	Good
Accessibility:	Easy Access. This cemetery is located south of Paradise in Putnam County. To get there, take Low Gap road (CR 28) from Rt. 34, turning left onto County road 28/1 just over a mile in from 34. You will crest the top of the hill, and the cemetery will be visible across the fields to the left on the opposite hillside. Once past the crest of the hill you will come to a gravel road (28/3) on your left that cuts sharply back towards the cemetery hill. Follow that road, opening (and closing behind you!) the livestock gate as appropriate. There is good space to park and turn around fairly close to the cemetery gate. The gently-sloping grounds are fairly even and well-maintained, but always use caution in case there are any unexpected dips or holes in the ground where you might stumble.
Condition of cemetery as observed on the given date - may not be representative of care at other times of the year Scale: Excellent - Good - Fair - Poor - Abandoned**
