Part of the Miami Conservancy District's Taylorsville Dam, this cemetery is located on a knoll to the southwest of the concrete dam. Given the size of that project and the need to excavate extensive amounts of land to make way for the causeway and dam, it is quite fortuitous that this cemetery survives.

The cemetery is on the land which was part of the original 1813 Land Patent of John Fryback (1750-1831) in Section 23, Township 3N, Range 6E. The Land Patent comprised land from immediately north of Route 40 at South Brown School Road then southward along that road to near the intersection of Poplar Creek Road then east to the Great Miami River, following the river northward to the east-west line that meets the northwestern corner again at Route 40 and South Brown School Road.

There are several field stones in the cemetery which are likely the earliest burials of the Fryback and Booher families.
