The cemetery is 0.65 miles up the nearby segment of the Old Mamalahoa Hwy.
The GPS information is not from my measurements, it is estimated from the
satellite view using Google Earth's coordinate display. I did not have a
GPS device with me at the time Kathy and I were at the cemetery.
This satellite photo may be a bit hard to
interpret. It shows the Immaculate Heart cemetery from a "close"
virtual
altitude of 677 feet. The grave coordinates of 19°48.028'N and
155°5.547'W show that the grave marker is about
240 feet east of the roadway shown on the left and about 100 feet north of the
cemetery south boundary.
