This cemetery is smaller and more remote, but it is similar to the Leach Cemetery in the most significant details. A large number of miners were all killed in the accident on December 9, 1911 at the Cross Mountain mine, and many were buried in this cemetery.

The approximate location is shown in this OpenStreetMap.
