Neel - Minchin Cemetery
This cemetery is located in the wooded area, just to the southeast of the intersection of Nubbin Ridge Road and Sylvania Plantation Road in Jackson County, Florida. Attempts by our camp to survey the site have failed. We plan to obtain a headstone and place it at this site in the future.
