This cemetery has been "lost" for many years, with only a few people knowing of its existence. It is south of New Albany, KS and can only be accessed on foot from New Albany Road, south across the old railroad track bed, and then skirting around a field and following the tree line of Fall River.

It can be found near the center of section 1, Range 13 East, Township 29 South, or more specifically in the SW quarter of the NW quarter, of section 1. The cemetery is on high ground in the "neck" of a long "horseshoe" in Fall River.

The handful of stones are under dense trees and among old daylily plants above the river. Locals say that many years ago fishermen removed one or more tombstones and used them down by the river bed to stand on while they fished.

The cemetery was created on the Whiteside family farm and used by local families from the 1860's until at least 1882. It appears in the 1881 atlas for Wilson County, and has an unknown number of graves, but probably more than twenty. Several graves are just marked by fieldstones. No comprehensive effort has been made to probe or uncover any stones which may be buried.
