Go approximately 6 1/2 miles to Bellfast Church of Christ on corner of Goldfinch (#15) and Norway Rd. Proceed 1/2 mile further to Martin lane (This was family named) but has no sign. This lane is on the South side Norway Rd. Turn onto lane and proceed over Cattle guard,  On the right side of the lane is a building and the owner says the cemetery is about 30 feet behind it and in pasture.It is fenced and permission to try and find it would have to be given from the owner, who seems to not want to discuss it.
