You will see a gravel road going off to the right, follow it toward a stand of trees and an American Flag. The cemetery sits on top of a small hill. On December 24, 1840, a group of early settlers composed of Baptists, Methodists and Presbyterians, realized the great need for a school and church in the community. They decided to construct a wooden building in the grove of trees on Land Lot 311. This building served as both church and school until just before 1861 when it was destroyed by fire. The early settlers had established a cemetery next to the church building and this is now Old Harmony Grove Cemetery. There are some 400 graves in this beautiful old cemetery and a majority of the graves are marked with field stones which do not have inscriptions. This Cemetery has been proclaimed a Historical Landmark in Paulding County. Name Birth Death Notes Armstrong, Mattie 12-23-1868 8-20-1904 Baker, Ann Cochran 1843 1910 D/O M&M Wm.
