Cemetery Overview
This cemetery is located on Eden Ridge Road, off 1019 on private property. At one time there was a Methodist Church here. From the book "Recollections: Yesterday, Today for Tomorrow, by the history committee of the Bracken County Homemakers: The first congregation worshipped in a church that was built in 1868. It was torn down and moved to Lenoxburg, just up the road, but that one was also torn down. The cemetery is in terrible shape. The majority of the stones I found are in dense brush, trees, and briars. The few others I found are in a pasture. Very few of the stones are standing.
