There is another cemetery across the road behind a house, and since I haven't been able to catch anyone at home I won't go through their yard to get to it. I will keep trying to find someone at home to access the other cemetery. There are several stones that are illegible. In the cemetery there is a monument that reads: This monument is in commemoration of Old Highland Missionary Baptist Church. Organized in 1812, disbanded in 1932, monument erected in 1940.
