The John Paul DAR transcriptions of the 1940s list this cemetery as being on
the Risk farm on the county line. The DAR places this cemetery as being known
as the Conner or Means graveyward in Section 1. Jefferson County Road maps
show it by name Conner cemetery in the NE1/4 of neighboring Section 2, just to
the west, just south of the county (Ripley) line road.
