This cross is steel, or metal of some kind, painted white. It stands about 12 feet tall, and is placed at the far end (western) of the cemetery.
There are no plaques or sign or marks on the cross


The cemetery still has the old sign, the church changed names, as the affiliation remain the same, but the name changed, from Evangelical, to E&R (Evangelical and Reformed) to today's United Church of Christ. The same goes for the cemetery.

Why the cemetery is so far away, I do not know. I am going to guess the old, original frame church was up here, and when the brick one built, in 1908, they moved into town.
