All that remains of the first Fredericktown cemetery on Franklin Street are a handful of broken tombstones.
More than 80 people are buried on the grounds according to historic records. Most of the stone markers were removed decades ago, reportedly for ease of maintenance.

It is unclear as to whom actually owns the property.

The deed reads: "For and in consideration of the respect and regard I have and bear towards the citizens of the Town of Fredericktown and in the County of Madison and State afore said, and the further consideration of one dollar to me in hand-paid, give, grant, bargain, sell, alien and convey and by these presents, hath given, granted, bargained, sold, aliened and conveyed unto - Moses Cox, Zenus Smith, Simon A. Guignon, Moses Bairir, and Thomas Mosely, Jr. - Trusteen of the said Town of Fredericktown and their successors in office, to and for the use of the citizens of the Town - for the sole purpose only as a place of burial."
