DIRECTIONS: From Crocker, Mo take U Hiway 5.5 miles and turn left on BB Hiway. Go 2.3 miles to Brooklyn Road (Old Keeth Road). Turn left and go 1.8 miles to the second bridge. From there, go .2 miles and stop. The cemetery is 100 paces to the North, (or left) on a right angle to the gravel road and 15 paces to the left of a small pond bank. It is currently very hard to see because of brush around it. But the Major’s stone is standing errect and facing West.
