Going north out of Pinckneyville, go to the Rice-Todd's Mill crossroad. It will be several miles.
Turn left and then take a right at the first road. Follow it to the Perry County line road.
                (If I'm not mistaken, it's the only crossroad after you turn right.)
This will be a gravel road. Turn right and you will come to a motocross track. Don't go in the fence.
Turn right at the fence and follow the dirt road straight to the cemetery.
It sits in the little wooded area at the end of the track.
