The cemetery is located east of Island, Kentucky in McLean County. To find it, begin at the traffic light at the intersection of US 431 and KY 85. go east on KY 85 for 0.9 miles. A large old barn is on the right and a white house on the left. The cemetery is in a small grove of trees alone in an open field about 150 yards to the left (north side) of KY 85, behind the house. There is a large pond between the house and the cemetery. The cemetery is enclosed in an iron picket fence that is still erect.Most stones are down and some are broken.

August 6, 2012-Correspondence from Rachel Townes Catlett:

"What I didn't take time to share in my formal request to you was that twenty to thirty years ago the headstones of Paschal and Lucy Finney Townes were moved by my father and his siblings to their current resting place in Island from their farm in another part of the county where they had been in a field, unprotected by the hazards of farm life (animals, tractors, weather). The decision was made to protect the stones and to put them with Paschal's son in this cemetery. The actual graves were never moved and my father recorded the move at the court house before leaving."
