The land  of the old Pine Hill Methodist Church and Cemetery,

located on Hwy. 260 about 5 miles from Sicily Island, was

part of a large tract of land owned originally by Richard Norris.

A daughter of his married John Lovelace, who donated the land

for the church and cemetery. The land for the church was given

in 1858, but the cemetery land was in use before that, in 1853.

Many of the oldest graves have no markers, and have been almost

obliterated. Some of the first pioneers who came to the island

and to what is now Franklin Parish are buried here.
