John Stephens Cemetery

Located at 8029 Dixie Hwy behind Sweco Inc. by railroad tracks. Going south on US 25 from Industrial Rd, after crossing the railroad tracks, turn left at the first driveway and park in the Visitor's parking. The cemetery is in a grove of locust trees between the warehouse and railroad track.

You must get permission to visit the cemetery from the Human Resources Department. My Thanks to Chris Frye for his time today - November 10, 2006
