According to the Aroma Park plat map printed in 1883, this small family cemetery is located on Sandbar Road and County Road S200E (Day Road). According to the Southeast Section Cemetery Book published in 1983 by the KVGS, at the time the Rice-Edgar Beebe farm was divided into private individual lots, there was one Rice marker found and 3 small limestone flat stones bearing the name of Day. This cemetery sits on the northernmost tip of Jonathan and Susan Rice's farmland and near the original location of their house.

The graves located here are believed to be the graves of Jonathan Rice, Susan Wineland Mitchell-Rice. Lucinda Rice, Andrew Rice, Asa Day, Permelia Beebe Day and Susan Day.

There is a very good chance this cemetery is actually in the Kankakee river now. Any information from someone locally would be appreciated.
