Directions: from U.S. Hwy 98, go north on New Light Road (SR-1907) to Woodlief Road (SR-1910)(on your right, about 1 mile or less from Granville Co line). Go one-tenth of a mile on Woodlief Road. Cemetery is on your right, under a large oak tree.

Surveyed by Sandy Bolick on 29 June 1998.

The small family cemetery is fairly visible from the road. Well cleaned and cared for. A new house will soon be constructed on this property near the cemetery. Builders have indicated plans to perhaps place a white picket fence around the plot. The eight graves found at this cemetery appear to be the only graves. It does not look as if others were buried here (i.e., there do not appear to be markers missing).
