Indian Mennonite Cemetery is one of the oldest in the County. Missionaries were here as early as 1876 to teach and convert the native population. Many graves here are unmarked, and many grave markers bear no information at all. Indian Mennonite Church, to the west, is no longer in use; the church is in some disrepair and the site has not been mowed in some time. However, the cemetery itself is active and well maintained.

One of the headstones is engraved as follows:

Roberta Simpson
"Bobbi"
JAN 30, 1932
DEC. 24, 2019
Your memory is our keepsake, with which we'll never part
God has you in his keeping; we have you in our heart
