COMMENTS: Take 62 East out of Canaan, go about 2 miles to bottom of Warfield Hill, turn left onto Barbersville Creek Road (don't take the Barbersville Rd. just outside of Canaan-keep going). Turn right on 1st road (Hicks Ridge Road). The graveyard is about 3 or 4 miles on the right on the property of Ed Lemen, 11926 N. Hicks Ridge Road. It's behind his house, you can't see the cemetery from the road.
