Driving Directions:  Going from Oark, you’re driving on Highway 215, it will then change into Highway 103. From this Juntion (Highway 103) drive 5.9 miles, South. You will then turn to a VERY SHARP left onto County Road 4490, You will drive  2.7 miles to Sherman Cemetery and keep driving about 2 miles. On the right out, in a field will be this cemetery.

 

Another way is driving to Ozone. At Ozone you will turn onto County Road 4490 going west (don't "y" off at 4260)  Follow this road until near the end, and this cemetery will be in a field on the left... (from this cemetery about 2 miles you will get to Sherman Cemetery.) SEE MAP OF THE AREA, BELOW.

 

This cemetery is an older "family" cemetery located out in a field.  We just "happened" to run into it when we were going to Sherman Cemetery.  There is no parking and no gate into it.  There is a barbed wire fence surrounding it.  Many of the stones were in pretty good shape, still pretty readable for being as old as they were.  Some I had to feel my way through them.  If anyone would like headstone pictures scanned and sent to you or if you know any more data on these people please contact us as we would like to get them as accurately documented as possible.   In my search to find the cemetery name I found some additional information on these people; that data will be under the transcription in ( ) I got the data from geneology websites, so use only as a guideline in your own research.   I transcribed all the stones that were there, making this a COMPLETE TRANSCRIPTION.  There is an alphabetical listing at the beginning of the transcriptions letting you know who is buried there, the transcriptions are under that.

 

Thanks,

Robert and Rosa Cline
