This long-abandoned cemetery was cleaned and restored by the Scott County Cemetery Commission this past summer (1973). It is located in the northeast part of Lexington Township south of Hog Creek and its east boundary is the Scott-Jefferson County Line. It is in the southeast fourth of Section 15, T3N, R. & E. on land entered 5/25/1825 by Solonmon D. Monroe. A road now abandoned, once led to it, but now the only access by walking in about 1/2 mile north from County Road 900E. There are 31 marked burials but there are, as usual in old cemeteries, many more graves marked only by sunken spots or rough stones.

Abandoned since 1915, this isolated cemetery on the Scott County Jefferson County Line, is on a hilltop in a heavily wooded area, accessible only via a slate bottom creek in dry weather; otherwise, through weed-grown fields. It is .7 mile south of State Road 56, off Road 1233W.
A few rough field stones and sunken areas may indicate burials not otherwise marked.
This cemetery has been cleaned and restored by the Scott County Cemetery Commission.
