To locate the cemetery from Grand Avenue, turn south on 4th Street and continue across the bridge over the Wiconisco Creek and the street becomes Greenwood Road. The cemetery is on the right just after the road makes a bend to the right. Twenty-four Civil War veterans’ graves were easily located in this cemetery.
