According to a nearby historic marker, William Rawls and A.M. "Gus" Wilson each donated land for what is now the church and cemetery. In 1886 the church was built and the graves of some of the early settlers dot the small cemetery.

Although the sign says small cemetery, there are approximately 600 graves here.
