Contributor's Notes:  Cemetery at Oakwood Baptist Church, Abandoned.  This 
church and grounds have not been used regularly since 1992.  The guest book 
is still located inside the door of the church with the last signature 
dated 1992.  The church is fully furnished with the Bible open to the book 
of Daniel and the pages yellowing. The cemetery is in very bad shape. Some 
of the headstones look as if the ground has eaten them.  It appears 
somebody has moved some of the graves to more open land.  Some of the 
graves are in the midst of a wooded area underneath a gorgeous Magnolia 
tree.  There were 17 graves marked by a stone.  Someone had put a stick 
with a red marking flag on it at each of these graves.  There is a huge 
pile of gravel close by. Some of this gravel was used to cover the newly 
moved graves. 2 old headstones were unreadable. There were 2 unreadable 
funeral markers.
