It is small, unfenced and untended, but easily accessible from the road. It lies in the southeast corner of Section 28 T27N R30E, about 10 miles northwest of Almira (Lincoln County) and just inside Grant County. It is also noted as "Shrock Cem" on the USGS Map dated 1968 for Steamboat Rock SE WA.

Background: It was established in 19 Apr 1899 in what was then Douglas County, becoming part of Grant County in 1909 when it was formed. The cemetery's name, either of them, comes from the names of the farmers working the adjoining land at the time of its formation. It is known equally well by either of its names.
