John Will McIntosh and Samuel P. Randolph moved to this area with their 
families in 1919.  They lived together in a house, that is still there,  until 
John Will could build a house for himself and his family nearby.  One day John 
Will was plowing corn on a hill near their home.  He told his wife, Polly, 
that if they were still  in this area when he died, this is where he wanted to 
be buried.

In May of 1927 Ida Randolph, Wife of Samuel P. was the first to be buried 
there and four years late, John Will was buried on the hill he had chosen for 
his burial place years before.

It was originally used as a family cemetery, but later an acre of land was 
deeded to Mt. Pleasant Church to be used as a church cemetery.
