This cemetery, located in section 3 of Sugar Creek Township, Harrison County, has the distinction of being referred to by more names than perhaps any other burial location in Harrison County. Records refer to it as the Williams Cemetery, Holy Mountain Cemetery, Hill Cemetery, and the Old Jolly Farm Graveyard, ...among others.

One true indicator for researchers is that virtually every obituary or burial records states that it is "on the old Jolly farm."

Regardless of the name, the cemetery is now virtually extinct and has been for nearly 40 years. The last "official" survey was conducted in the mid 1960s and indicated that there were other burials that were unmarked even then.

From Bethany go east on Hwy 136 to Hwy 146 and turn south going to Hwy MM. Turn east and go to E320th Ave. turn South and go to a jog in the road. The cemetery is back in the field on the west side of the road.

Records indicate that the first burial at this cemetery was that of a child born to Mr & Mrs Reuben McLey, and that "the wife of Rube McLey" is also buried here.
