This cemetery in Medina Township is well cared for & groomed. As you enter, the entire right side is among the oldest of the stones.
This particular stone covering the entire grave of John Paterson lies on the left as you drive into the cemetery within 30 feet of the fence.
On the same side of the cemetery & just down and west of Paterson's grave stands the only tree stones in the grave yard.
