This small cemetery is located to the west of & borders on the Emory City Cemetery.  The cemetery is transcribed in a west-east direction, beginning at the entrance.  Each row is read in south-north direction.  Most of the burials in the cemetery are on the south side of the cemetery; there is an extensive empty space from the last grave listed in each row to the fence on the north side of the cemetery.
