SE of Dew. Locating this cemetery is very difficult unless you are familiar with the area; travel to Dew, go 1.5 miles past Dew and turn right for 1 mile. Go to FM 179 and continue when it becomes FM 489. Continue to the Saw Mill Road (on the left going toward Hwy 84 east). Turn right on the iron ore Road. Follow this road, keeping to the right for 2-3 miles. When iron ore road makes a sharp turn left, continue to follow until it becomes a white rock road. You will cross numerous cattle guards but when you find a mailbox bearing the name G.F. Gehrels, and a trailer house on the left, you are near. Continue and the cemetery is located on the left. At the end of this road is a metal fence just past, so you have to stop at the cemetery.
