To reach cemetery from Smithboro, drive east o State Hwy 17, turn right or south onto Hwy 282, then left onto Church Street. The cemetery will be on the left or north side of the street.

This cemetery is sometimes called the Canfield Cemetery. It has a mix of modern and old tombstones. I am not sure who owns and maintains it. It does not appear to be used for burials anymore.

This is a complete listing of all legible headstones done on Jun 16, 2012.
