This cemetery is in the eastern part of Cass County & about 1/2 way between the EEL & the WABASH Rivers . It is a about 4 1/2 miles west of the Miami County line. It is near the N.W. corner of the N.W. 1/4 of the N.E. 1/4 of Section 24, T.27N, 3E, 2^nd IN P.M., on the South side of, “MILLER” ROAD, [which here separates Section 24 from Section 13].

The original old framed structure church for which this old cemetery was named [one of the very oldest in the history of Cass County], was abandoned & torn down &  was supplanted about 1879 with a brick edifice in the Hamlet of Hooverville [now part of ADAMSBORO] & less than 3/4 mile N.W. of this cemetery. The cemetery which had adjoined the old church though now though no longer in any church-yard is still maintained & used for the purposes for which it was set aside in 1833.
