This cemetery became known as the Rice Cemetery because the Rice family owned land nearby. It may have also been locally called the Hartt Cemetery at one time. It is the second burial site of the Philadelphia Presbyterian Church. A book about the church's history is entitled The Presbyterian Gathering on Clear Creek by Russell Martin Kerr. The church's website gives additional information about the church and cemeteries. The burial records were provided in 7/2003 by George Timblin and the committee restoring this cemetery. An article about the restoration of this cemetery has appeared in Our State magazine. This cemetery is near the intersection of Phyliss Lane and is on the east side of the Highway 51. For more information, please visit the Church's website.
