Oak Grove Baptist Church Cemetery
It most likely is the burial site of African-Americans, who were members of a church and/or a fraternal organization. Early members may have been associated with the Flint Hill Baptist Church and left to start their own church after the Civil War.
The church owned a 175' x 250' tract; Knights of the Guiding Star of the East Lodge No. 29 owned 87.37' by 250', and U. S. Rubber Co. owned it by June 1942, as part of a 2266.32 acre tract north of the intersection of Texland and Westinghouse; west of Texland is a ravine below the railroad track.
Oak Grove United Methodist Church
The church was organized in 1888. The cemetery and church are not located together. To reach the cemetery from the church, go north on Old Statesville Rd. Turn right on Henderson Rd. then make an immediate left. The cemetery will be on the right and can be seen from the road. It is fenced and locked, so arrangements need to be made with the church to enter the cemetery.
