Wayne -- if my memory serves me correct you go past the road going off to the Blair Cemetery. I remember seeing a monument as I went around a curve in the road. I went past and had to come back to it. I mentioned it to my father-in-law (he has lived in the area his whole life) and he knew nothing of it. I will try to get a picture this Sat when we go home for the holidays.
