The grave is not hard to find if you look for the little flags by the marker. It's on the northeast side of the cemetery, almost exactly midway between Fourth and Fifth Streets.
[Arik, 11/09/2024]Seems to be a beloved site by racists. I would've accepted a few Confederate flags because of who he was, but there is also white supremacist paraphernalia decorating his grave. Don't bother stopping here. Not enough history or other points of interest to make it worthwhile.
