Located two miles north of Knoxville, Mo.; to state road and turn east and go two miles.

Cemetery is located on the north side of "V" highway between Moss Road and Claypole Lane. A green sign marks the cemetery entrance. The cemetery is located north of the cattle gate and east of the old lane. The entire cemetery is surrounded by a fence and many stones are grouped together and surrounded by additional cattle panels. It appears that families may have enclosed these stones for additional protection from the cattle.
