Catalogued November 30, 1974 by H. A. Dieter. Located one half mile west of County Trunk NN in section 7 of Willow Township.

It lies within a fenced area with a large iron gate in the northeast corner. Less than one third of this area was ever used. The first known burials here were that of two children of Edwin C. & J. A. Wildermuth in the winter of 1865. The last burial was that of Horace Newkirk in 1930.

The ground is gently sloping with no brush, two pine trees, and much uncut grass from year to year. One large log design monument is lying on it's side. The inscriptions, that of the David C. Wildermuth family, is face up and still quite distingusihable.
