Augusta Cemetery is located in a small community within Lewis and Clark County. The original town site was dedicated on May 8, 1893, and though it is uncertain how the town got its name it is the general belief that the town was named after the first child born in town. Augusta has a current population of approximately 320 residents.

The Augusta Cemetery is about an acre in size and is very well maintained. There are approximately 1,100 interments with the earliest in 1881. Louis B.
