Directions
From downtown Greenville go West on HWY 62 and turn left onto HWY 171 (also known as Weir St., it is last left before the Muhlenberg Community Hospital).
Follow HWY 171 South 8 miles through Weir to Drake Road. This is the last road on right before you get to HWY 853. There is also a sign for HWY 600 on the corner near Drake Road.
Go right on Drake Road for 0.7 mile. This is a dead end road, and cemetery is on the right almost at end of the road. There is a fence around it; however it is so overgrown and neglected, it may be hard to find.
The cemetery is marked off in 5 or 6 sections with concrete blocks or rocks. The first section has no tombstones, but Helen Young said there supposedly had been some sand stone markers in that section.
Mosley P. Wells's tombstone is the first that you see when you get in the cemetery. Louraney's is next.
