I can tell you how to get to cerrogordo. According to Street Atlas USA, the
cemetery is NE of the town.

>From Horatio, AR take SR 41 SW out of Horatio. The road is not named but it
cuts off SR 41 to the NW. Follow that road to the State Line. Cerrogordo is
on the State line.

>From Idabel, take SR 3 east of out Idabel for about 8 miles. SR 3 turns
south at this point, You want to turn north and go 1 mile than turn east.
In about 4-1/2 miles you get to Goodwater. The road sorta jogs to the NE
then continues on east. Cerrogordo is 5-1/2 miles east of Goodwater.

The back roads in McCurtain county are pretty rugged. I've been there, done
that. If your map doesn't show these roads, I can copy a portion my map and
send it to you as an attachment.
