The cemetery is located to the south of the First Methodist Episcopal Church building at 1228 North Avenue.

The burial plot north of the church building is a family burying ground founded by Israel Seacord, owner of the farm.

[1] The section of the community in which this church and cemetery are located was called "Upper Rochelle" at the time and then contained a more important group of Methodists than the lower portion of town.

At present, there is no boundary line between the two cemeteries, so records include both.

Also included here are the names from Saint John's Methodist Church, formerly located on Main where they were removed due to urban development.
