This cemetery has 71 known burials with the earliest being William Bowlen in 1846 and the last two being Mitchell Loughridge in 1978 and Elizabeth Stewart in 2016. There are several burials that are unmarked noted with information from death certificates and newspaper obituaries.

Although no longer there, the signs above were posted at the cemetery sometime prior to 2005 and listed the names of the people buried in the cemetery.

The cemetery was cleaned by Karl Miller, Steve Liebi, Jack Bowlin and others in the summer of 1993.
