It is on the North side of Frog Hollow Road and across from the Valley Chapel School. It is fenced with barbed wire on three sides with the front side a split rail fence, not in good shape. The cemetery is overgrown with weeds, has been vandalized and the gopher holes are numerous. There are a number of unreadable metal funeral home markers, blank stones and a few wooden markers. The land was first owned by the Harer family and it was first known as the Harer Cemetery. Mary Ellen Reser selected the site and was the first person buried there. Earliest burial from headstones read is 1873 and the last 1995. The reading and information from 1983 and a plat map was provided by Garland Wilson, an area historian. All information in parenthesis was not on the headstones. Walked and read by Rella and Jim Gleaton November 19,1999.

These could be plat owners or they could be burials. Measurements were taken to identify the proper family with the right plat as the original plat map had but few names on it with a lot of them illegible with no burial records on some of the listings. Family names were added where identification existed. Information on DICKERSON family was supplied by Mrs Robert (Louise) Dixson and the plat map by Mrs. Dale Hastings. Other information from early obituaries, tombstone inscriptions and family members. Survey taken Jan & Feb 1983"
