The cemetery is one of the oldest pioneer cemeteries in Madison County.
The Busby Cemetery is one of the earliest family burial grounds in Fall Creek Township. As such, it holds the final resting place to many of the county's very first settlers: Moses Bunker, who died in 1853 at fifty-six years; William George, who died in 1857 at fifty-nine years; Jacob Hardman, who died in 1858 at sixty-six years; William Jarrett, who died on Good Friday 1842 at eighty-two years; Joseph Poindexter, who died in 1858 at eighty years; and Jacob VanMeter, who died in 1872 at seventy-three years. Some of these men were born around American's Revolution, and all of them were living during the War of 1812.
