History:
The land for the church and cemetery was given by the Bridgeman family.
Most of the Zimmerman area residents attended the Salem New Connexion Methodist Church. Salem Church closed in 1890, with members moving to the new Zimmerman Methodist Church on Appleby Line just south of #2 Sideroad. However, the cemetery on location of the Salem Church was still used by the new congregation.
Salem was on the Nelson Circuit, Lowville Circuit, and in 1879, on the Zimmerman Circuit.
There are some burials still taking place in the cemetery. Lowville United Church has a Death Register from 1906 to the present that includes burials in this cemetery. This transcription has not been checked against this register. An earlier register has not been found at this date.
