Located on highway 137 just west of Ballards Grove Baptist Church. On a dirt path on the north side of 137 just to the west of Gates County Community Funeral Home.

This cemetery may be the church cemetery as there isn't one on the church lot but it may be a private family one as well. If anyone has information on this please contact me.

6 graves marked with stakes of aluminum, some screwed together into crosses. Most of them are held up by cinder blocks, No names or dates.

Slab half buried, can't see inscription.

There are numerous unmarked graves in this cemetery. Some have flowers on them which may mean they are new and haven't had the marker placed yet.
