Directions: From beautiful downtown Donie, (Bank, Post Office, and Turner Bros. Feed Store), take Hwy 164 East 3.6 miles toward Buffalo. Off of the right side of the hiway about 200 yds. you will see a little hill covered with Cedar trees. There is a gate to the cemetery and a couple of signs. One says Northwestern Resources and a Warning sign. The gate will be locked. Ignore the signs. We have permission to go to the cemetery. James Richardson has keys to the gate and he will also leave a key at Turner Brothers Feed Store. We are keeping the gate locked to prevent vandals from destroying the cemetery.
There is evidence of 127 graves but only the following had headstone.
