Location/Directions/Comments
	Most recent directions	Approaching from the west, this cemetery is located on Knutter Road 7/10 miles south of W. 230th Street, 1/10 mile after the road turns to the southeast. From the east, travel 1 mile west from the point where BB Highway blacktop stops and becomes gravel (Knutter Road). It is 1/10 mile northwest of Taylor Road. The cemetery is located on the northeast side of Knutter Road (where the road runs southeast and northwest). Look for a few tall trees along the fence row in the middle of a hay field about 50 yards from the road. Walk along the fence row straight to the cemetery.
