From SH 77 on the Bluff, take FM 155 southeast 2 miles to a paved road on the right that leads to Cozy Corner. Three quarters of a mile southeast of Cozy Corner on a gravel road is another gravel road on the right leading toward the west and on to the Big Bethlehem A.M.E. Church. To the left of the church, toward the rear of the building, there are two large fenced in graves. A trail leading between these 2 plots toward the southwest, goes down the bank of a small branch, across a bridge made of 3 three foot sewer pipes, and up the opposite bank to a grove of 6 cedar trees arranged in a rough square. West of the cedar trees is a group of Spanish Dagger cactus and about 20 yards further west, toward the west corner of the tract, are the white graves.
