We visited the site this week and wanted to share with you the site address. It is on 310 North between Center and Cypress Ave.This is the address within the cemetery itself. The Plot is K-5-4=1E. It is located on the left hand side of the road half way between the two roads, There is a tall granite marker then two head stones.
