There are two cemeteries behind this church. The one directly behind the church is a black cemetery. Going up Cemetery Road, which goes north beside the church, you find a white cemetery where Cemetery Road dead ends. It is a small cemetery and has several graves marked by only a rock and has a few that are so old they are unreadable. There are 3 markers inside an iron fenced in area in the southwest corner that are unreadable. There is another large concrete covering the full length of the grave but there are no inscriptions and no other marker. There are also a few with just the old bases left. In "MISC INFO" column, "ho" means husband of, and "wo" means wife of. If there was a veterans marker, it is noted in the MISC INFO with rank and branch of service and where served as shown on the actual marker. Notes too large to put in miscellaneous info are noted by number and appear at bottom. LAST FIRST MID.
