028    GLEN/GLENN'S GROVE BAPTIST CHURCH CEMETERY-BLACK (CA. 1880)

Go east 0.7 mi. on Sneed Road from the Glen/Glenn's Grove Church building, located at the corner of Guess Road (SR #1003) and Sneed Road [see photo], to the small Glen/Glenn's Grove Church cemetery on left (north) side of the road.

Survey - This cemetery was surveyed on May 12, 1976. Milton Forsyth visited and photographed the cemetery and pre-1980 stones in February 2005. Picture of Church provided by Margaret Jones in April 2003.

Graves, Marked - There were 14 marked graves.

Graves, Unmarked - There were 28 unmarked graves.

Comment [Revised 2005] - The newer part was originally a Sneed family cemetery, with the oldest stone dated 1921. A rectangular plot of ground was deeded to the Church in recent years by the family for use as a cemetery. There is an old cemetery in a triangular grove of trees to the west immediately behind the newer part of the church cemetery (size approximately 40 paces west by 60 paces north). Apparently some church members were in past years buried in this section, but its origin is not clear. Only one stone is found with an inscription, dated 1933, and it appears this portion contains most of the unmarked graves noted in the 1976 survey as well as possibly some of the listed burials where "Funeral Marker" is indicated. This area is unattended and overgrown. The Church does not own the old section, and certain land ownership considerations have precluded its cleanup.
