This cemetery is located at the old silver mining town of Carbonate between Central City, Trojan and Maurice. Many of the burials are of children who died in the scarlet fever epidemic of 1888. Carbonate had two booms, one in 1881 and the other in 1886. People dwindled away from the town after that. This cemetery was the only one surveyed by the Works Progress Administration (WPA) in 1941 that was published and given to the State of South Dakota.
