Driving directions: From Prescott, go north on Hwy. 19 toward Delight about one mile north of I-30. Turn right on Rd. No. 42 and go one half mile. Turn right on Rd. No. 39 and go about one mile. Just before you get to a sharp curve to the left, a woods road will lead to the right. The cemetery is about 500 feet down this trail and will be on your left. You will probably need to walk from the county road.
