I was just there a couple of weeks ago and took pictures.

To reach the cemetery you must go to Eckerty. From old 64 to 11 into Eckerty, cross the railroad tracks in town and take a right, then a left right away and go up a steep hill. This road is called Eckerty Doolittle Road. Stay on this road - stay on the blacktop - about 1/2 mile and you will come to a Y. Veer off to the left, and stay on this road to the second Y and veer to the right. The road may change names once (it can be confusing) but it's still Eckerty Doolittle Road. Go about one mile or so and you will come to a T in the road. Take a left. Go about 1/3 of a mile and the Church and the cemetery are on the left. The church is a red brick building with a long stone driveway. I have a list of people buried there up until 1994, and then a few more that I took pictures of the headstones. I didn't take pictures of every headstone, just my family, which are St. Clair, Sinclair, Sigler, Walls, Beard, Wright.

To Newton Cemetery:
If you go straight on the blacktop road past Bethany Union church/cemetery, you will come to Newton Cemetery which is an old abandoned cemetery on the Eckerty Doolittle Road at the top of the high hill. There is no road and you will have to walk about 1/2 a mile up the hill to reach it. In this cemetery are several unmarked graves, which are probably Judds or Newtons. There are Pond, Felker and Faulkenberg children, along with a Sigler baby (my ggaunt) and Mary E. Judd Brown. There are also headstones for other Newtons and Judds.
