From Bushton, take Main Street south to the end, turn west onto Avenue B and continue to the first corner. Turn south onto 5th Road and continue for 2 3/4 miles. The cemetery is on the east side of the road just north of the church.

This cemetery is associated with the Salem Methodist Church and was established in the late 1800s, judging from the headstones. The cemetery has many old graves, but it is still being used. The stones are in good shape. I found very few names in old lists that I didn't find stones for.

The little country church burned a few years ago and they rebuilt a very nice ground level church. The old church had lots of steps and a basement, so this is more accessible.

I walked this cemetery in Apr of 2011, using my digital camera. This includes all existing and legible stones and markers found at that time.

cemetery records

A free online library of cemetery records from thousands of cemeteries across the world, for historical and genealogy research.

Clear Digital Media, Inc.

What makes us Different?

Single-sourced, not crowd-sourced

Each transcription we publish comes from a single-source, be it the cemetery office, government office, church office, archived document, a tombstone transcriber. Other websites already do an excellent job of crowd-sourcing a single cemetery together. But genealogists also need to see the original records from a single source. That's what we offer.
