From the log house, go west and angle slightly north, cross SandyCreek, and then cross a barbed wire fence, and you will come into a meadow. As you look out into the meadow, on your right there is a lone tree standing. Use the lone tree as a marker. Go west north-west across the meadow so that you travel 50 yards or so south (to the left) of the tree. Go straight west at this point, until you reach another barbed wire fence. When you cross this fence, there is another open meadow (pretty swampy right now) in front of you. Look west. There is a wall of timber beyond the meadow. The line of timber beyond the meadow ends in front of you, or perhaps, slightly to your right as you face west. Look to the right of the end of the timber line and towards the horizon. You will see a small grove of cedars in the distance. (At this point, the cedars are too far away to be seen very clearly). There is a larger grove of trees in the western distance to the right, but that grove is not completely made up on cedars, there are some other kinds of trees, oaks, etc. in that grove. Keep your eyes on the small cedar grove. Walk across the meadow toward the cedars.
After you cross the meadow, you will be walking up a slight incline. When you reach the top of the hill, the cedar grove will be obvious, and that is Graveyard Hill.
The cedar trees on Graveyard Hill are close together. It is relatively clear under the trees, though there is some brush that has fallen. There is a grave marked with a white headstone. J. C. Clark, born June 30, 1820, died October 27, 1875. with Masonic emblem The headstone bears a Masonic emblem and is in very good condition, easy to read. At the foot of the grave there is a foot stone, which has broken off or fallen over. The foot stone is engraved with the initials "J. C" with obviously stand for J.C. Clark. The headstone has been broken off about 6 inches above its base, but is neatly propped against the base. There is no evidence of vandalism.
There is a second grave northwest of the Clark grave, see notes above, about 20 paces, marked by two boards. There is no writing on them...if there ever was, it has long since disappeared. The head board is about the dimension of a two by six and stands about 10 inches high, while the foot board is smaller, about one inch by four inches and stands about the same height.
