The cemetery is sitting on land that used to belong to a Congregational Church prior to 1897. In the 1971 book, there were a lot more names or burials connected to the cemetery but some of the burials were transferred to other cemeteries. In the 1988 supplement, there was a smaller list of names that were found there that had headstones.

This is not a complete listing due to the somewhat poor upkeep of the cemetery. I walked this cemetery on Sep 20, 2001 & Oct 22, 2001. It is about 5 to 5 1/2 miles from the Golliet Cemetery (southwest).
