Approximately 6 miles East of Rocky Bar. This old cemetery is on top of a
hill amongst the pine trees, about 6 miles from Rocky Bar, between Featherville
and Rocky Bar. I think it is FS 104. You go to the end of the road and you are
at the "Poling" Ranch. The cemetery is on top of a hill on the left of the
Poling Ranch buildings. There are 8 burials here. Cemetery is in remarkable good
condition as of 11 Aug 2023.
