Click on image to enlarge >> Driving directions: From Walker Chapel church you take Jim Ridge road to the east and travel about 4-5 miles and Jim Ridge road will run into Bowles Ridge road. Take the left fork and you will still be on Jim Ridge road. Go 1.5 miles and turn right on OK Hill road. Go to the first house on the right, turn right between that grey house and the barn and you will be on the Stephens driveway. Follow the drive way 0.5 miles to the brick house on the hill. The cemetery is on the hill opposite the house to the east. |
