The cemetery is in a private farm, was abandoned in 1903 and has not been maintained. Most of the markers have fallen over and the wooden ones have deteriorated so that many of the graves are no longer identifiable.  Henry Lang (?Lanz) made the coffins and also opened and closed the graves. He built a rock structure in the center of  the cemetery and also a large wooden cross to identify the cemetery. The property and the church records have been given to Church of the Sacred Heart, Glen Ullin, ND.
