On Route 11 in Shawsville, going towards Roanoke, turn right on Boner's Run Road (road # 609) for about 3 miles. This road then veers to the left and the name changes to Boone Road. Travel about .6 mile until you see a steep path up the hill on the left. The cemetery is at the top of the hill. For clarification, I have added the words in parentheses, all others appear on tombstones.
