Located in St. Anicet about 50 yards east of Highway 132 and about 1 mile west of Cazaville, the cemetery was the burial ground for members of the Rankin and related families. The cemetery was overgrown a few years ago, but it was restored by a family member. Many of the stones have eroded and are now difficult to read. Most of the burials that took place in this cemetery were conducted through Dundee Presbyterian Church. In 1822, Donald Rankin and his family emigrated from Glencoe, Scotland, and settled on the lot across the road from the cemetery. He later acquired the lot where the cemetery is located.
