This cemetery is not located in Levy County, but it is near the county line in Marion County. I am including this page as help in finding the resting place of some one who may have lived in Levy Co.

This cemetery is located on private property, thus there is no access to the site. The owner though is not opposed to family members of the interned seeking access to the site. Please contact me for contact info.

There were a number of unmarked graves or markers that were unreadable, if you know of additional information concerning this cemetery please contact me.
