From the Junction of Highway 64 and 123 in Lamar, go north on Highway 123 for approximately 4 miles to Johnson County Road No. 3620. Turn left on Road 3620, go .6 mile to pasture gate with no trespassing sign on it on the right. Cemetery is across this field about 75 yards off the road and is fenced. Please get permission before going to this cemetery. In June 2007 this cemetery was very grown up. There are approximately 20 unmarked graves. We did not actually count them. We are using a list done in 1976 by the Extension Homemakers Clubs which listed some of the ones that we did not find in 2007. I will add a note to these. The grave stones for the DAVIS family are down on the ground.

It is possible that we missed finding some of these stones in the high grass and shrubs that are in this cemetery. I understand that one of them has been moved to Minnow Creek Cemetery, which is 1.5 miles north of Road 3620 at the junction of Highways 123-164-272 west of Hagarville.
There may possibly be another rock crypt and another grave in this last row, but the rock were scattered and it was hard to tell if they were actually graves.
There was light purple paint on the trees at the lane, so the land is posted. I have no idea who owns this land.
