 EBENEZER CHURCH
(Old Johnson Farm Cemetery)
 
The Old Johnson Farm was in Bacon County, about 5 miles east of Alma 
(county seat of Bacon County)on Hwy 32.  

The Old Johnson Cemetery is located off the highway
on a farm.  Since Rockingham is a very small community
anyone can give the directions to the cemetery.  


(This information came from the Bacon County, Georgia
Genealogical and Historical Society, Bacon County
Library, Alma, Georgia.  At the time the Library was in a
brick home across from the former boarding house of
Courtney Smith (Mrs. James L.) Jonson, Alma, Georgia.)


"Capt. Joe Dedge didn't believe in a hereafter.


Brother E. J. Riddle baptized Oplelia Johnson in the ford
near the Church.


The Cemetery came first, and long after the Church.  The
first Church and schoolhouse were built at the
crossroads.  After this got old they built the Ebenezer
Church in about 1919.


Jim Allen Johnson gave an acre of land to the Church when
Ebenezer Church was built.  Edward, Johnson, Odum,
Simmon, Bud (son), and Thera Turner families, Raymond
Dyals, Carters, Ragsdales, Pearlie McClellans.  The New
Symyrna Association Minutes show Ebenezer Church
Records."
