Turn right on CR 90. The first cemetery is Bethlehem on the right then Mt. Gilead is on the left in the corner at the intersection. Mt. Gilead church is no longer being used for services, however, the cemetery and stones are well cared for. This transcription was done from a complete census of the information on the stones. I am the neice of Jessie Olan and Parthenia Few and great niece of Chessie Few Martin. As a child, on visits to my grandmother's (Eva Hunter Few), I would worship in this church and sing in the choir with my cousins. This small church burned down and was rebuilt. In the 1950's and 1960's it was going strong. I hope you find the genealogical information you need from this transcription. Susan Few Adams seadams@esagelink.com.
