It is a small, inactive burial site which is located within a farmed area. When the crops are growing, it is impossible to see the cemetery from the gravel road, yet the farmer maintains a small drive left unplanted through the field for access.

According to deed records at the county court house, the cemetery was sold to the town of Arion in 1940 by Mary A. and A. H. Nickols for the sum of $1. The site was originally part of the Butler land holdings and many still refer to the location as the Butler Cemetery. The town of Arion continues to maintain the grounds.

As of September 2000 there where thirty one grave stones still remaining, with two additional foot stones. Several pieces of stones have been stacked next to the east fence. There are also several stone or concrete bases without a stone located in some of the rows.

The site was walked on 11 September, 2000 and rechecked on 21 October by Norm Prince. The rows were read from the west toward east and the stones in each row were read from north to the south. As the site is small, it was felt the readers would have a better picture of the burials if shown by row.
