Located in Montezuma township, 4 miles from state highway 100, and 11 miles south of U.S. highways 36 & 54.

Recorded by Mrs. Delia McEvers Bixby of Pearl, Illinois; submitted by Mrs. Aline Morton Burt, Regent of the Rancho San Bernardo, California, Chapter NSDAR.

This old family cemetery had for long years been "lost," completely overgrown and inaccessible, and only recently cleared and restored, It is on land bought by William Ownby from George French, There are more graves than here recorded, but with only small unmarked stones for them; also other sunken places which clearly indicate more graves.
