Cherry Cemetery
aka Temperance Chapel Cemetery

Temperance Chapel Cemetery and Site of A Methodist Church South
Madison Tate McGehee and his wife Lucy Cosby McGehee sold this 4 acres of land
on June 13, 1854 for forty dollars to the trustees of Temperance Chapel
Methodist Church South. The trustees were S Treadwell, S Mathew, C A Standfield,
C Varnell and Thomas Chowning. A two story building was on this property at the
time of purchase. The McGehee's specified the use of the lower floor by the
Methodist Church and the upper floor to be used by the Masonic Fraternity and
any Temperance Association. The remainder of the land was to be used as a public
burying ground.
