This cemetery contains burials prior to 1850. The list included in this site is incomplete and was abstracted by Mary Beth Gatza and Mr. J. E. Kirk.

The first cemetery is near the end of Camp Stewart Rd., which is depicted in the first photograph. The second cemetery is by the church, near the intersection of Hwy. 49 and Back Creek Rd.

The Baker Cemetery relocated by Duke Energy was not for the Baker family but possibly was the name of the preacher that buried the individuals.
