To find it, take RT 40 East out of Uniontown. Go to the top of the Summit Mt. and turn right toward Laurel Caverns on Laurel Caverns Rd. Stay on this road until you come to a Y.

Go to bridge, stop, look to left. You will see a large rock blocking an old road. Walk past the rock about 175 yards to cemetery. This cemetery is in West Virginia, the PA line is less than 100 yards away.

I talked to the gentleman who lives about 1/2 mile from the cemetery, he told me that John Maust joined Co H 3 rd. MD Vol on Mar 31, 1862 in Bruceton Mills as was the custom at the time, and died from sickness 12 days later. He has done some checking of local history.
