DIRECTIONS:  From the intersection of State Roads #39 and #165, 2 miles south of Esto, go east on #165 for 3 miles.  Cemetery lies 228 feet on the left (north) side of road.

These records were transcribed by Maggie Ripke and are part of the WPA Veteran's Grave Registration project that was conducted 1940 - 1941 in Holmes County FL.

This cemetery is located north of highway 90 take 79 to Esto and turn on Highway 2 to the East (right) go about 3 miles and it is located on the left side of the road up on the hill. This has a few unmarked graves,  but the cemetery is unmarked next to the unmarked church which is Liberty.
