​

 It is difficult to get to but the MCPCC

has worked extensively in this

cemetery, and it is showing a lot of

improvement. One must walk back

through the field and across a creek.

A large tree has fallen over onto

several of the graves; eight stones

are visible, but it's not known if

there are others under the tree.

The 1976 Marion County

Genealogical Society records show

8 persons recorded buried here,

mostly from the 1850s to the 1880s.

​

Early records say that there was "...at one time a Beulah Church near this cemetery and a road going east and west by here."  Currently, there is a large stone for David and Elmira Davies who died in 1889 and 1908, respectively. The earliest burial was in 1848.
