BROOKS FAMILY CEMETERY------SPRINGFIELD TWP

Directions: From Normalville, turn off RT 711 on to George Prinkey Rd. near the Normalville Church entrance. Continue to the SECOND road to left, turn left, go 4 tenths mile to top of the hill. There will be fields on both sides of road. You will see the foundation of the Brooks home on left. About 75 yards before the foundation, you will see a road on the right going through field. The cemetery is about 200 yards in the field next to this road.
It is my understanding that the stones were removed from cemetery at one time and later returned, by the landowner after people complained.
