Location:
Section 36, Township 40N, Range 30W - Ringthunder Township
History:
Saint John's is an Episcopal Cemetery started in 1890 by Ring Thunder. On 12 October 1917, a patent for the land was issued to the Domestic and Foreign and Missionary Society of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States of America by President Woodrow W. Wilson.
The cemetery is located in a pasture above the Little White River and is accessible only by a trail through the hayland.
The cemetery is fenced but the fence is not in good condition and the headstones that are left are hardly visible in the tall grass, cactus, and brush. There were many wooden crosses but most of them are down and none of them were legible. There is one big cross in the cemetery.
