The cemetery sits on the west side of the highway, a few miles north of the LEE patents. Its exact location — according to local residents — is somewhere near the western edge of the southwest quarter of Section 21, Township 13S, Range 12W (see map). This section of land was patented to a William BERRYHILL in 1858 and was actually embraced in southern Marion County (Aston's Store P.O.) at the time of the 1860 census. Mr. BERRYHILL's neighbors in 1860 included James and Hannah LEE and their widowed daughter, Susan (LEE) HUGGINS, who later married Samuel A. (Green?) LEE. Two of Samuel's brothers also were recorded in this part of Marion County, having acquired their own federal patents a mile or two northwest of the cemetery site in the late 1850s.

Chelsie J. MILLS visited the location in the early 1990s. He reports that the cemetery appeared to cover a large area, although only a few graves were visible in the heavy brush. The burials were marked by the placement of large brown stones, some in small groupings suggesting family plots. If the cemetery ever had a name, no one now living can recall it. Past owners of the property include David Smith HARRIS and his son Ralph. The latter was quoted as saying that he never knew of anyone having relatives buried there, except maybe some TRULL's.
