Elgin Old Latin Cemetery is located just outside the northeast corner of Elgin City Cemetery. Access is from Elgin City Cemetery on West 2nd Street by a pedestrian gate by the maintenance shed for the Elgin City Cemetery. There is no sign.

There are many burials unknown in the cemetery. Many of the plots are marked with tiles on which the words LOVE or SOUL or just RIP have been stenciled in paint. The cemetery was formerly often overgrown but has been kept clear reliably for a couple of years as of 2018; a few of the plots show signs of regular care. The cemetery overall suffers from the effects of being on sloping ground near a small creek and having runoff from the adjacent Elgin City Cemetery rush across it during heavy rainfall. It is still an interesting and moving small cemetery.
