The families of Oliver and Mary (Livingston) Jackson and George and Didama (Jackson) Biggerstaff moved here from Missouri and settled on adjoining farms in 1854. The Jacksons erected a schoolhouse on their property, and the cemetery was established on the Biggerstaff farm. The first recorded burial here was Grant Clutter in 1864. Containing about 50 burials, it served as the graveyard for the Jackson and Biggerstaff families and their descendants. The last recorded burial was Russell McCormack in 1935.
