This cemetery was established on the farm of Johann George Jesser. The farm was located on the Nebraska/South Dakota State line in Section 22 McCulley Precinct in 1904. The Cemetery was located just north of the Jesser Sod Church near the South East corner of the NW¼ of the SE¼ of section 22. With this section bordering the state line, it is a correction section and is short almost the space of one quarter along the north edge. The Jesser Sod Church was organized June 24, 1899. The last service was held in the sod church in 1903. At that time this church was merged with the Hope German Congregational Church in Fairfax, South Dakota. George Jesser purchased the sod church building for $30 and taught school for some time in this building. In 1919, Mr. Jesser sold this property and the fate of the sod church building and the cemetery is not known and the cemetery has returned to grazing land with no visible signs of a cemetery discovered at the current time. Surnames of families who attended this church are Korb, West, Ehly, Bachmann, Jesser, Brunnemeier, Horst, Wuest, Schochenmaier, Schultz, Woerpel, Ernest and Sattler in addition to their pastor, Rev. Henry Hess. There may be burials from these families in addition to the Jesser children in this cemetery.
