The South Fork German congregation building in Section 30 in 1874 is said to be the first Methodist church in Saline County. This church merged with the North Fork congregation in 1921, building a new church in the town of Western. This cemetery is the church cemetery.
The South Fork Cemetery, located in Section 19, west of Swanton, contains the oldest marked burial, that of O.D. Omstead on November 20, 1860, which is believed to be the oldest in Saline County. His stone no longer exists.
