There are few records from 1875 - 1900.
The cemetery is divided into two sections with the oldest part on the North side of a creek. In 1964 severe flooding of the whole township caused damage to this cemetery and some graves have never been fully repaired.

Crossing the creek to the South, there are five modern sections laid out, as well as RSA parts, cremation strip and a niche wall.
