Go out Highway 31 North. Take right at "The Highlands" toward Spring Hill Community.  This road is also known as the Steiner Store Road.  Go past the Tom  Gregory place and just beyond what is now known as the Harrison place take a dirt road to the right.  This cemetery is about 1/4 mile on this dirt road on the right."
