From the old courthouse in Morganton travel Hwy. 181 north, turn left on Independence Blvd. And then right on Hwy 126, travel 17.3 miles to SR 1281 (dirt), turn left and travel to end of road. Gate is locked, and the house on the right has key. Obeth church no longer is standing and the cemetery is down this logging road about a mile on the left in the wooded area.

Note: in 2012 this cemetery is now in the Lake James State Park and is right beside a fine paved road. There is a gate that is open when the park is open.
