Some burial s were made here before 22 Oct 1869 when Joseph Day and Susan P. Day, his wife, deeded ten acres to the Trustees of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, for a church and especially a cemetery. In 1916, the trustees of the church sold the south side of this ten acres to P. W. Williams, leaving the northside or cemetery for the community. Since the church was called Andrew's Chapel, the cemetery was also called that in the early days. A cemetery association cares for its upkeep. Several hangings took place in the trees here in the early days. They were buried on the spot. |
