To reach this cemetery, take the Rocky Ford Road in Section 28, about a half mile east of Lakeside Road. It lies on the south side of the road, is surrounded on four sides by farm land, the front portion has electric wire. The cemetery is about an acre in a wild, wooded area with the graves dotted throughout the acre. All stones except for Mr. Johnson's more recent stone, are broken and/or separated from it's base and is leaning against a tree. This site used to be the home of the Sharon Methodist Campground, then Church, and School. We assume many more people were buried here.
The history of this cemetery is in the Clinton County Historical Society's Quarterly # 19-4, Page
