The name "Dupris Congregational Mission Cemetery" reflects the name assigned by the United States Work Projects Administration (WPA) in their 1940-1941 gathering of cemetery records in South Dakota. The cemetery is physically situated on the Cheyenne Indian Reservation in Township T9N, Range 24E, section 30 (SE1/4 of the SE1/4) in South Dakota. The cemetery is on private land on the bluff just ½ mile above of the Cheyenne River Flat where Fred Dupuis (Dupree) resided and ranched. The original US land patent upon which this cemetery sits is Indian Allotment 919 issued on 11 May 1906. The graveyard is about 935 feet south-west of the old "Dupree Church" (sometimes historically referred to the old "Buffalo Church"). The oldest and original name for this cemetery is "Dupree's Graveyard" as shown on the United States land survey map for South Dakota dated 9/14/1900. In 1889, just prior to this survey, the area became the Cheyenne River Indian Reservation. In 1900 this cemetery would have been in Armstrong County, South Dakota. In 1911 this area became Ziebach County. This cemetery (Dupris Congregational Mission Cemetery) is not to be confused with Buffalo Cemetery in Cherry Creek (96843), Dupree Cemetery in Dupree (2145302), or the Dupris Family Cemetery in Iron Lightning (2226489). These are all different locations in Find a Grave.
