George Sheeks (18690306) and Elizabeth Canote Sheeks (18688028) settled on the nearby Rock Lick Creek in 1817 and had 12 children. Their log cabin is now on display at the Pioneer Village in Spring Mill State Park.
Many of those buried here are descendants of George and Elizabeth. The oldest known grave is that of their son Isaac Sheeks (59648587), who died in 1833. In 1869 their son David L. Sheeks (17872697), one of the most prosperous landowners in Lawrence County, deeded the site for perpetual use as a cemetery. The Sheeks Cemetery Association was founded in 1960 and still operates the cemetery today.
