Location:
From the Hancock County Courthouse, go southeast on Hwy 15 for 0.3 mile to the fork at the Sparta Baptist Church. Stay right at the fork and continue on Hwy 15 for another 9.5 miles (you will pass the county line) to a road and gate on your right. Gain permission, go through the gate and follow the road, using a four-wheel drive vehicle. Go approximately 3 miles to the cemetery, bearing to the left where the road forks and go over the stream. The cemetery will be on the right of the road, with the road possibly going over a corner of the cemetery. A GPS is recommended to pinpoint the cemetery, since the exact distance along the road is not known.
