From Warsaw, go 6 miles north and 1 mile west of from the junction of I-29 and Highway 17 go 3 miles west and 3 miles south.

Because of the poor condition of the cemetery and the high grass I could only find 6-8 headstones, when I visited Aug 27, 2001. This is an abandoned and not longer used cemetery. I have included additional names from Cemeteries of Walsh County.

According to the Cemeteries of Walsh County, the name they gave it as Abandoned or Formerly Methodist of Evangelical. However I obtain a deed to the land and on Apr 6, 1888, John and Elizabeth Dipple who owned the land sold it to Ebenezer Church for one dollar. At one time, there was a church, a school, and the cemetery in the same location. The church and the school no longer exist.
