Thanks C. L. and Lina!

From the supermarket in Hector, go 6.2 miles north on highway 27 to the Middle Fork Ridge. This cemetery is located 5.5 map miles north of the bridge up Middle Fork of the Illinois Bayou. Cemetery is on the right of the road, just before the road crosses Middle Fork and just south of where Meyers Branch runs into Middle Fork. NE 1/4, NE 1/4, Sec. 17, T11N, R18W. Recommend travel by 4 wheeler or walk. Road has washed away. There are approximately 12 graves here, with only one of them having been marked.
