From Milan toward Medina on Hwy. 45, turn right on Goat City Rd. Follow it until you are at an intersection of crossroads. Bobbit, Mathis Crossing, Lonnie Holt and Blackmon Roads all intersect here. The cemetery in right at the roadside in the edge of a field. It is fairly overgrown but very visible from the road.
There is no formal sign marking the name of the cemetery, but the
