I know exactly where this is.My great grandfather(Lois Rhodus) and later my grandmother(his daughter) owened this farm.
When I was a kid I used to go up a small hill justb west of the pond under some tall pine trees where the graes are located. I can't quite remember for sure but I think there were 4 graves there in a 15 ft sq area under the pines,keep in mind this was around 30 years ago since i last visited the old homestead.A man Judge Niehaus who purchased the property really tore things up and destroyed all the barns and buildings so I don;t know if the trees are still there, he will not let us visit as i have tried several times.
After my granddma sold the place for a while we were alowedto visit the graves were there the last time I visited around 1983.
you will not see them from the road as tIt is he homestaed sits about a mile off506 biesinger road.I was just by there last week and it had alocked gate at the entance to the lane.I thing Judge Niehaus died last year or so but his family still owns it I believe.
I miss that place so bad I wood payy a hundred $ for a 2 hour visit.They should not deny you entrance since you are visiting your relatives graves I would n't think anyway, if I could tag along I could give you atour of the farm what is left of it
Hope this helps
