This church used to be Soapstone Methodist Church but that church moved to the corner of Old Creedmoor and Norwood. This cemetery could almost be a family plot. There were 3 broken headstones. One had no name but did have the dates 6-17-????. Died 6-24-1901 age 39 years. The birth date would have to be 1862. Only a stone marked 4 Graves. One funeral marker was completely washed out.
