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
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

those whose lives you touched."
On back of tombstone:
"I will do great things;
For others, for me, for you;
I will contain all knowledge;
No thought will escape my tenacity;
I will astound the aristocrats;
Nothing or no one can stop me;
But what if I am unlucky;
But what if I am not the man I see;
But what if time plays its hand;
In dreams, I will, with no doubt;
In reality, I hope, wonder, and despair"

"We Loved You Mother"
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
the cemetery were difficult to read, so I wrote down what I could
but I used every caution in making it as accurate as possible.
