It appears to be about 3 miles WSW of the town of Belgrade in south central Washington County. The map I found shows it to have been about halfway between Highways DD (on the west) and JJ.

This might be a good trip for you to make. They should have the plot number where she is buried even if there is not a marker.

How can I find out where she is buried in the cemetery? Thanks in advance for your reply.

I have a question for you. Is the Acquilla Cole Cemetery (AKA Potashnick Cemetery) the same as the Cole-Mineral Point Cemetery? I suspect yes, but my records say one has 35 burials and the other has 7 burials.

Someone else with a link to this mystery cemetery. If you EVER find it, please tell me. My gg-grandfather was Aaron Calvin Cole, son of Joshua and Jane Turley Cole. He and his wife, Paulina Mitchell Cole, are said to be buried in The Cole Cemetery at Blackwell - as well as Joshua and Jane? We went searching for it a couple Thanksgivings ago and didn't find it. I was told that it was near/next to Big River, probably on private land. My aunt recalls it being in a corn field. Someone sent me a location - with road numbers. I can see if I can find it for you. By the way, in my file, I don't have Catherine's info, only her birthdate (31 Jul 1830?). And, two of her brothers married Longs - are they related to Milton? Joshua, Jr. married Ann Long and Isaac Shelby married Mary Long. "Shelby" was apparently hung as a Confederate spy. Please reply, Deanna :o)

I thought I had found them in the Bethelehem Cemetery. We went there last week and found the tombstone and it had only Catherines death date on it and it wasn't what I was looking for. I'm still trying to verify the dates. Milton is the father of Albin (1849-1933). Catherine is the daughter of Joshua Cole (1799-1878) and Jane Turley (1802-1882). I believe Joshua and Jane are burined in a Cole Cemetery in Blackwell but haven't found that cemetery yet.
