A little history of Harmony Cemetery
Harmony
Primitive Baptist Church was formerly located near the intersection of
Old
Harmony Road and Buddy Neill Road just to the northeast of its present
site. The
new church-house was
constructed in 1952. Prior to its being
relocated, most
burials from the church were held at Pratt Cemetery. James
Lee Arnold of the
Harmony Community donated the land for the new church
building and cemetery in the
early 1950s.
The first burial here was Youngie LaFayette/Fate Arnold who was
the
brother of James Lee. Their
parents, Joel Arnold and Sarah Paris Arnold are
buried at Pratt Cemetery
and James's wife Lockie Demarious Maynard is also buried
at Pratt. However, James decided in later years to be
buried at Harmony, the land
where he was born, next to his brother Youngie.
