One of two small cemeteries lies near the stone and log ruins of the town in Lot 9 Section 7, T22N R65E and the site is a Historical Monument under the Recreation and Public Purposes Act. The second cemetery site location is unknown but is believed to be within a radius of a mile or two. Schellbourne is a ghost town on private ranch property owned by the McKnight family. The Pony Express used this area as a stop for its riders and eventually a short-lived town evolved. A pitiful few stone walls of once impressive buildings remain, but all the other buildings have been bulldozed to clean up the area when they bought the property in 1998.
Permission is required to visit the site.

The cemetery is a short distance to the east of the remaining stone walled buildings, just behind and near the end of the long line of trees and has at least 7 graves. The three Burke markers on the right are made of cut steel wagon wheel sections riveted together in the shape of crosses. A large ornate iron crucifix is located in the center of the small cemetery which has been thoroughly cleaned up by the McKnight's.
