At present, no sign is available for directions to the cemetery. However, travel along CR 3250's winding dirt road 4 tenths of a mile. Immediately to the left, you will see another road with entrance gate.  This road leads to St. John Cemetery, which is located beyond the gate.  Situated to the right on CR 3250 is St. John Baptist Church, a small white-painted building.  Information provided by Christine Sowell April 2009.  Updated by Suzanne Sowell
