Jefferson Township, three miles south of Allison and one mile east of Highway 14 on
county road C45.
This cemetery was a town cemetery for Butler Center. Its first burial was in 1865.
In 1870 it was under the jurisdiction of the Jefferson Township Trustees. At that time they
transferred a strip of land along the south edge of the cemetery to George M. Craig in
exchange for a strip along the western edge of the cemetery.
Later the cemetery was transferred to the Butler Center Cemetery Association which was
incorporated in 1917. In 1938 it was verified that the land transferred in 1870 was now owned by Fred
Schrage.
In 1950 the Butler County Auditor was assigned as trustee for the small cemetery. In 1962 the
unused east half of the property owned by the Association was sold to the State Collage of Iowa (now
UNI) for use as a natural prairie reserve.
