ST. JOHN MISSIONARY BAPTIST CHURCH CEMETERY

 

Is located at 540 CR 219, Melrose, Parcel #18-09-23-0000-1300-0000.  Take SR 26 west-northwest toward Melrose.   Shortly before Melrose CR 219 makes a sharp turn to the right.  Turn right on this road and follow it about half a mile to the church on the right.  The cemetery lies both behind and next to the church building on a triangular plot of land.  Church Sign.

 

This cemetery is unusual in that its many interments are placed facing all different directions.  The age of this cemetery is unknown at this time.  It was missed by the Cemetery Task Force when they conducted their county-wide cemetery survey in 1999.

 

There are many World War I veterans buried in this cemetery.  WELAKA QUAD.  N 29o 42.977 W 82o 01.819 (Maintained).
