The cemetery was established upon the completion of the Church of God building in 1912. The land for the church was donated by Augusta Wieczorek, whose husband Henry (who had died in 1907) was the first to be buried there when his body was exhumed from the Union Cemetery in Union Township, Davison County and reinterred. It is located about eleven miles south and two miles east of Mount Vernon in Baker Township, Davison County, South Dakota. A more precise location is about 1/8 mile south of the intersection of 399th Avenue and 266th Street on the east side of the road.
