Big Creek Methodist Cemetery Located on the Maben Sturgis Road. Five Miles North Of Sturgis. I have visited this Cemetery many times. The Rainey's, The McIlwains, Makasoms, Rays and Quinns are found on my family tree. This is not a complete list, I did the orginal in about 1970 and only added to my family branch over the years. Last visited Feb. 18, 2002. The Chuch has a new sign, dedicated by Ronnie and Donnie Oswalt, in memory of their Uncle and Parents.
