There are very few graves there. On the same road, after you cross Beaver Creek on the first farm on the left as you head west is another farm back from the road. There was a fairly large cemetery on the hill behind the farm. The graves of several of my ancestors are in that cemetary but unfortunately most of the graves were plowed up by some idiot farmer.
