The cemetery was deeded September 5, 1899. One acre was deeded to the Dunkard Church in Section 22, Township 8 North Range 43 West of the 6th P.M. in Phillips County Colorado.

Located in the middle of a file with 9 known burials at this time (2017), the cemetery has suffered over the years from neglect to the point of being lost. As of this year, dedicated volunteers are in the process of rehabilitating the cemetery and restoring it for posterity.

Previously, this cemetery was known as the "Fishers Cemetery". No date is known when the name changed but one obituary referred to the cemetery as "Fishers Cemetery" in 1890.
