Notes: The cemetery is at the intersection of Jones Road and Dakota Road. 5.3 miles north-northeast of Ashburn. In the 1830s, this land was the property of Benjamin Willis. After his wife's death, he donated the burial plot land to the local church, sold the rest of the property, and moved south to Worth County, where he lived with his daughter Mary until his death.
