Location/Directions/Comments
	Most recent directions	From downtown Camden, travel west on Hwy "T" to the last right (north) turn before the curve. This street (Mill Street) is not marked but the post for a stop sign is still there. Turn north on that road and then look for a gravel road on the west side that bends sharply up the hill. Take that road to the top of the hill and park by the shed. The cemetery is up on the hill behind the shed so you will have to hike up to it. The road to the cemetery is not very well maintained so it is best to visit this cemetery when it is dry or the ground is frozen.
