Turn right when you see the green cemetery sign on the highway. Historical Marker Inscription: According to local oral tradition, the name BabyHead was given to the mountain in this area in the 1850's, when a small child was killed by indians and its remains left on the mountain. A local creek also carried the name, and a pioneer community founded in the 1870's became known as Baby Head. The oldest documented grave here is that of another child, Jodie May McKneely, who died on New Year's Day 1884. The cemetery is the last physical reminder of the Baby Head community, which once boasted numerous homes, farms and businesses. (1991) This is a complete listing of every visible marker found.
