Comments: The cemetery is at the site of the old Beulah Methodist Church. The church was demolished several years ago and some of the ruins are still scattered about. The cemetery is quite old. The oldest grave appears to be dated 1892 and the most recent one is dated 1982. Many of the older graves are still mounded with red dirt. The cemetery is well fenced. Part of the genealogy information is from Anita (Whitter) Salcido.
