The church was initially associated with the cemetery so that it was sometimes referred to as the Providence Presbyterian Church Cemetery. The church itself was located further south on State Road opposite the intersection of Brown Road.

Although located .1 mile off the road, the cemetery is clearly visible when approaching from the north or south. The cemetery is accessible via a drive leading from Watkins-California Road. The cemetery is well maintained and many of the older monuments have been repaired and straightened. Unfortunately, a number of the older monuments have been reset in cement in recent years obliterating some of the information of interest to genealogists and historians.
The History of Union County, Ohio indicates that the first burial occurred here in 1817 with the death of a child of Ephraim Burroughs followed by Sarah, a daughter of Pierce Lamphere. No monuments for either of these individuals are found in the cemetery today. The earliest death date found on any remaining monuments is 1829.
