Cemetery ID: 8236

Founded in 1896 by a colony of German Baptists known as “Dunkers” (due to their method of baptism). In 1972, the Dunkers moved to Modesto. At one point the Bible Missionary Church owned and maintained the cemetery, but as of 2005, the church had been torn down and ownership of the cemetery is unclear. As of October 2009, the California Cemetery & Funeral Bureau has no record of a Certificate of Authority (Cemetery) on their database.

This is a photo of the entire cemetery from across the street. It was originally a church cemetery for German Baptists known as "Dunkers." The church has since been torn down and the cemetery is relatively abandoned.
