Established in 1872 when SolomonFry gave one acre of land to the Wabash County Commissioners for cemetery purposes. The deed also set aside 68 feet of land for a church. The cemetery is located in Lagro Township about one mile west of Belden just off the Schmalzried Road. Present day County Road 650, used to pass nearby, until abandoned, on the way to a ford across the Wabash River. The cemetery is shown in the 1875 Wabash County Atlas as being in Section 31 Township 28 Range 8E. The cemetery had remained lost until the entire area was cleaned off by a local farmer. Only one stone was exposed. The area appeared to have been drug by some sort of rake which may have carried off other stones and has had landfill deposited on the site to smooth it out.
