There were 6 graves plus the one of the Civil War Soldier. There could have been more but if there were, there were no signs of them.

Directions: The cemetery is located south of Roaring River State Park. Take Highway F south out of Roaring River State Park, at Off Davis Creek turn left onto a dirt driveway with a gate across it. Off Davis Creek can be recognized as there are large tin whistles under the highway. It is a mile or two to the graves. Probably couldn't find it without a guide. The graves are at the base of a mountain. There are signs of a house being in the meadow across from the graves.
