Take Hwy 11 north to Sedore Rd. west just south of Gravenhurst.. follow the road to Beiers Rd. turn right. Continue on the Beiers Rd. to the Southwood Rd. Turn right you will come across the cemetery on a bend in the road on the right hand side. There are large gates with an oxen yoke attached to the overhead sign.

This old pioneer cemetery is also known as The German Cemetery and the Heidman Cemetery. It appears to have started in the early 1900s and is still used occasionally.

The stone cairn was erected in 1936 in memory of the pioneers of Morrison Township. Moses Martin deeded the land for a cemetery and Methodist Church in 1865. Prominent in the logging industry, ancestors of the infamous Elonzo Boyd are buried here.
