Location/Directions/Comments
	Most recent directions	Take old 10 through Richmond past the Pizza Hut. Turn north on Daughtery Road. Continue on until you see a barn on the east side of the road that looks like perhaps it is a chicken barn. The next house on the east is a lovely farm home of Teresa Rogers. The cemetery is actually on the property next to this home, but this is the only access to the cemetery. There is a path, you can drive on, that goes around on the north side of the house. Follow it to the tree line. Then follow the path north on the east side of the tree line for about 1/2 mile. You will find a patch of trees near the end of the tree line before the tree line goes east, and you are there.

	Other Comments	Rod Fields visited the cemetery April 7, 2008. There was only one marker that had anything on it and the inscription is shown below. There were also 4 or 5 unmarked markers. After he talked with Bob Letzig and Teresa, they all agreed this was not a slave cemetery but is in fact a Lile family cemetery, since this property was at one time owned by George Lile. Notes: Contact James Bernard Jacobs. the handwriting for "G" looks a lot like an "L"; is it possible that Lile Cemetery should really be Gile Cemetery???
