Had a hard time finding Mr. Jefferson Nickel. It is across from the Y section. The Y marker is on a tree in the corner of the cemetery. If you are standing in front of the tree with your back to it, this monument is across the street on the right corner.

Not hard to find, you will see it on a corner intersection of two of the dirt roads
