Location:
Section 17, Township 40N, Range 27W - Fairview Township

History:
Little is known about this cemetery. It was not listed on the WPA Grave Survey and those who knew about it are now gone. There appear to be 12 or more gravesites with one headstone remaining (and it is broken).

Chief White Thunder had a camp on White Thunder Creek near the cemetery and in all probability it was used by his people.

From History of Churches, Rosebud, Todd County, SD; Rosebud Episcopal Mission Church Records, Book DS/I, Film #007856517, Images 562-565 of 612 images shows this record of this cemetery:
"St. Matthews Station was established in a government schoolhouse on White Thunder Creek in 1884. the cemetery associated with St. Matthews is now White Thunder Cemetery in Mellette County, SD, near White Thunder Creek."

Older burial records whose place of burial is stated as St. Matthews, or that they were a member of that Church, can be directed to White Thunder Cemetery.
