Union Baptist Church Cemetery

Old Columbus Rd, very near Hwy 137

There is a sign at the road that says Union Baptist Cemetery, turn right after the sign, it is a short dirt/grass driveway into the cemetery

Anyone with relatives in this cemetery, please contact me, we are probably related.

Sincere thanks to cousin T J Miller and his daughter Linda Riley on the cleanup and addition of the sign for this cemetery. 

I have additional photos that I will be adding to this webpage.  The Meltons, Walls and Shorts are my ancestors.
