Driving north from Elba, turn left (west) off US Hwy. 87 onto Coffee County Rd. 341,a dirt road. As you make the turn, you will see the church building and the cemetery beyond it. Church services are no longer held here. Dr. Paul D. Kendrick helped my identify some of the graves. His great-grandparents and my gg-grandparents are buried here. This survey is complete and will be amended as needed.
