WEST HILL, read by George Palmer, June 19, 2000, is a short entrance gravel road off Max Osborne Rd leading E from US Hwy 45W. Entrance is a few hundred ft from  intersection of Hwy 45W and Max Osborne R. Intersection is S of Union City abt. 3 or 4 miles and about 1/2 mile before reaching State Route 216 crossing Hwy 45W. Cemetery sits to south back off the Max Osborne Rd up on the side of a high hill & is clearly visible from road and reasonably well kept. I estimate 100-200 grave sites in the cemetery. It is in use today. Lynn Laster
