Section 7, T58N, R29W, at the
Daviess/DeKalb county border
(39 51' 42"N, 94 12' 20"W) |
| Directions |
From the southernmost Interstate 35
and St. Hwy 69 interchange (exit 61): Go west on Hwy 69;
it will immediately bend to the left (south) to follow
the interstate. At this bend, turn right onto Topper Av.
and stay on Topper (heading west) one mile until 105 St
turns right (north). Take 105 St 1/2 mile north until
Titan Av (no street sign for Titan: it is the first road
to your left.) At Titan, turn left (west). The cemetery
is on the left (south) side of the road 1/2 mile down
Titan located at the crest of the second hill in a grove
of trees between two fields.** Until recently, this
cemetery had been neglected so long that even though it
lay only a few feet from the road, it could not be
readily seen excepting for the top of 4-foot tall
monument for J.P. DRAKE. However, it appears this has
been remedied by an anonymous good Samaritan and unless
it is again neglected should remain visible from the
road. |
