This small family cemetery is not easily found. It lies in deep woods on a red clay road, clearly visible however from the roadway. There is a small clearing about 20 yards deep and the 10x10 fenced area is beneath a large white oak tree. The fenced area is overgrown with ferns and wild gladiolus. There is no evidence that a homestead once stood here, but might be assumed that one did exist until at least 1911. Make no mistake, these woods are primitive but the forest floor is clean of tangled underbrush.

From Burt Corn, Alabama travel west on Hwy-30 toward the City of Monroeville. At approximately 5.84 miles will be a dirt road to the right named Sand Bottom Road. Turn here and continue for approximately 2.24 miles at slow speed to its junction with Nettles Mill Road. On Nettles Mill Road continue to drive northward for another 3.0+ miles, crossing Brushy Creek and other small streams. The cemetery is not visible on GPS due to thick woods, but from Brushy Creek a travel of another 1.5 miles one sees the small clearing and the fenced area.

Leaving the cemetery, continue northward to a junction with Coon Trail Road. Stay on Coon Trail until its junction with Hwy-42 (running east to west). A near landmark on Hwy-42 is the Antioch Church and Cemetery. Continuing west will be tunnel Springs, Peterman and the City of Monroeville.
