Notes from the transcribers, Bud and Virginia Engelhardt, December 9, 2009:
This cemetery was established in 1890 and the size is little more than an acre in the middle of a wheat field. A dirt road leads through the wheat field to the fenced cemetery. It is not irrigated, but is clean, quiet and serene, and has a few locus trees.

This cemetery was walked and read by Bud and Virginia Engelhardt in August of 1998. The cemetery is one mile north of the Franklin County line and probably contains burials from both sides of the county line.
