Annie Oakley Visited This Graveyard
The road to the graveyard is narrow gravel. It looks like a farmer's access path, but keep going. Annie Oakley's father and sisters are in one plot; her mother is across the way. There are a few other interesting tombstones, such as an eagle on a tall tree trunk.
