Two Mile Grove started out as a burial plot for the members of the Baptist Church. The members purchased an acre of ground at the Two Mile Grove for $20.00 and intended to use the land to build a place of worship and a burial plot for church members. A log church was built and it was called Myrtle Tree Church. It was commonly called the Two Mile Grove Baptist Church. In 1872, the members decided they must move into the newly laid out town of Latham. The cemetery is under township management today.

The rows start at the left when one faces west, which is opposite the timber. There are two entryways to the cemetery. The west entry goes on the outside of the cemetery. The other entry separates Section A from Section B. The stones were read by Mary Ann Radtke on March 5, 2000. Please keep in mind that many of the older stones were very hard to read.
