Map
  The grave is -"off of old 75, now 91, just north of the Kwikset plant.  As you pass the plant, there's a new road on the right leading back to a new mfg plant.  After you pass that road, still heading north, there's a gravel road off to the right with a stop sign.  It's marked as a private drive, but we've never had a problem going down it - it used to be the only access to the field.
As you drive down the road, the right-hand side is open. As soon as you come to a fence row on the right, park and walk into the field and follow the fence row.  The grave will be next to just a few yards down.  It's enclosed by a badly bent wrought-iron enclosure.

I'd really like to know more about the little boy's story - he died only  a month or two before Denison was born."
