This cemetery originally served pioneer settlers of the Wolf Valley community, which began about 1875. The earliest grave is that of S.T. Tollette, who was buried here May 11, 1882. Also buried that same month were James Lyon and R.P. Ramsey. The cemetery was formally set aside in 1902 when trustees A.E. Baily, A.W. Hardy, and J.W. Spence bought the original tract from the D.M. Davidson family. The site was enlarged through later additions of land.
