From the Town Office at 403 State Route 121, go out the driveway and turn right.  Go aproximately 1/2 mile west.  Cemetery is on the right.  Parking is difficult, you can back into a small driveway just before the cemetery on the same side. Rock wall surrounding cemetery is "tender". Please be careful.

Numbers begin in front left, move in horizontal rows across.
