History:

The history of this cemetery has not been definitely established, but it appears to serve as a community cemetery for the Pottersdale area.  The earliest burials are those of the Rohn family, dating to the early 1850s, and it is quite possible that the cemetery came from their land.  Mary Rohn, who died in 1853, is the earliest marked burial.  J.
