    3. Your best bet would be to find someone who knows where it is and get them to take you. But if that's not an option, here are some directions from Collinwood. From Collinwood, travel south on Highway 13, after passing the Wayne County Memorial Gardens on the left, take the first road to the right. This is the Bear Creek Road. Now this is just a guess but I would say you'll need to go about 6 miles and you'll see the Cromwell Crossroads Cemetery and Church on the right. Take the road on the right just passed the church. About a mile down this road it will fork, take the left fork. About two miles after the fork there will be a gravel logging road on the right which goes to Horton Cemetery. It's been probably 10 years or more since I've been to the cemetery and I'm sure things have changed in the area. Someone said there was a sign up now. The area around the gravel road when I was last there was cut-over timber (clear cut) and probably had young pine seedlings planted there. Anyway, the cemetery was back in the woods behind where it was clear cut. It would be wise not to go there in a low car. Some of those gravel logging roads can be rough. I'm thinking they do work on that road some before decoration at the cemetery so you might want to try planning a trip to it around that time. Good luck and maybe you can find it. Jerry W.
