MT. PISGAH MISSIONARY BAPTIST CEMETERY

 

Going from Milan toward Bradford. At Cades going north, take the second road on the right (Reynolds Road) go approximately 1/4 mile then turn left onto Mt. Pisgah Road. The Mt. Pisgah Church and cemetery is located approx 1/2 mile.

 

Mapquest

 

Church records state that a committee acquired land for this cemetery in the year 1908 and that it replaced the church's former
burial ground, Crocker Cemetery.  The oldest year of death I found was 1911, but there may have been burials previous to that
at unmarked graves or with un-inscribed tombstones. 
Names highlighted in blue have tombstone photos.  Click to view.

In a grown-up area near the fence at the back of the cemetery, there I located a large, uninscribed block, appearing to be the base of an headstone. 
It also had a footmarker, but it had no writing either.  There were saplings and many irises growing on the gravesite.

 

Apology for errors is made now.  This cemetery was documented by Adam D. McCartney on May 26, 1999.  Some tombstones in the oldest part of
the cemetery were difficult to read, so I wrote down what I could make out on them.  It is inevitable that some of the information above is incorrect,
but I used every caution in making it as accurate as possible.
