Historical note:
This graveyard is located at the site of the abandoned Bethel Primitive Baptist Church no.2 which was a member of the Simpson Creek Primitive Association. These members left Bethel Primitive Baptist Church now located at Hickman's Crossroads Community which became a member of the Bear Creek Association. The split was over the belief of absolute predestination. The last service was held abt 1957. One of the founding members was Ferny George Hardee (b. 24 Jan 1858) who was at the time the secretary of the original Bethel Primitive Baptist Church and one of the founding members there also.
