It is not known when this cemetery was established. based on various readings of the cemetery, we know of 129 burials in the cemetery including six veterans (see below). Considering the amount of open ground, there were probably many more burials that we are not aware of. The earliest known burial was that of Eliza Clark in 1830. The last known burials occurred in 1917 - Jacob M. Anthony, Sarah Glassford and Orpha T. Swink.
The cemetery is maintained by Clearcreek Township.
