The old cemetery was established in 1843 and was laid out around the original church building which was started in 1846. There are grave markers as old as 1846. When the new church was built in 1895, and the old church demolished, additional burial plots were added where the old church stood. An additional cemetery is located across Green Road from the old cemetery, east of the present church. The grave markers there date from 1910 forward. Betty Endebrock is the current sexton of the cemetery and has held that position since 1965.
