Note: This cemetery was visited by Greg Brown in 2020. The above entrance photo and Google map link will help you.

At one time Bethel Church was located next to the cemetery. It was disbanded in 1945 and the church torn down and sold. The early wooden markers used to mark the graves were destroyed by one of several fires that swept through the cemetery. A tornado in the early 1970’s, destroyed a number of trees along with some markers.

Some bodies have been removed from the cemetery by relatives and buried elsewhere.

Rock Township trustees are in charge of this cemetery and they say there is no Deed’s Book available.
