Located on FM 31 between Deadwood and Galloway the cemetery is a peaceful setting. Well kept and fenced, the cemetery is situated on gently sloping ground next to the road and is surrounded by trees on three sides. There is a covered area for meetings. Annual Day is the third Saturday in April.
It is believed that there are unmarked slave burials outside the back fence and there is evidence of other unmarked graves in the cemetery.
