 The "Selfridge, North Dakota Diamond Anniversary" book, in the biographies section, references the Golden Wealth Cemetery as about 4 1/2 miles southwest of Selfridge.
The "Cemeteries of Sioux County North Dakota" by the James River Genealogy Club, records "Hepper Cemetery" also known as "Selfridge Baptist Cemetery" showing six burials. Three of them are from the Hepper Family, members of a Baptist church.
The 2004 book description on how to get to the cemetery follows with annotations from this writer within [ ] brackets: "This cemetery is abandoned and fenced at the north end of a large wheat field. It is accessible by traveling west through rocks and along a fence or by driving across the field from the south. It is located by following the road south on the west side of Selfridge, thence a half mile west, three miles south, and about a mile west along the north fence of section 21. [From Selfridge intersection of 1st Street and Main Street go south on 1st street about .8 miles to 96th Street SW then west about .6 miles to 27th Avenue SW, then south about 3 miles (past 97th Street SW, past 98th Street SW, past intersection of 27th Avenue/27th Avenue SW)] The fence road mentioned above is before 24th Street. The alternative from the south across the field is to continue on 27th Avenue SW then west on 24th Street about 1 mile then north across the field.
