Ead Baptist Church on Lee-Jackson Hwy. (U.S.11) in Greenville. It served as a burial ground for both Mt. Ead and Wayman Chapel A.M.E. Church. Today it remains in use, owned and operated by the Greenville Cemetery Association, Stuart Wilson, president, and Mae Porter Tate, secretary. There are about a half dozen members. The following records were made by John Blake and published in his book "The History of Greenville, Va., 1732-1993." He surveyed the cemetery in the late 1980's, and added a burial (that of Elmer Wayman Harper-1917-1993) in 1993 from a newspaper obituary. Essentially, this burial record covers about 100 years, from the 1890s (9 burials) to the 1980s (7 burials), with the single anomaly of Lewis N.C. Jackson, buried in 1865, apparently a single burial prior to the founding of the two churches in 1870-1872 and 1876. Brake recorded over 100 burials, as follows, but wrote "in addition to the marked graves, there are approximately 100 unmarked graves".
