This beautiful little cemetery has traditionally been called Bone Hill Cemetery, but has been the property of the Ebenezer United Church of Christ since 1893, when it was deeded by Henry Borgmann. It lies at the northwest corner of Outer Belt and Bone Hill Roads, in Section 29, Township 50, and Range 29. The commanding view to the East is the site of Easter morning services. Burials are still continuing.
The small, old northern section contains many stones not read by the DAR ladies 60 years ago. These are:
