View of Old Antioch Methodist Cemetery from the southside.  This cemetery is enclosed in a small fenced area that is broken in several pieces.  Notice the dead pine on the left that will fall soon.  Part of this cemetery is suppose to have been destroyed by a former landowner.
Ceramic marker of Daniel Ross. One of the few found with circled writing at the bottom.
One of several ceramic markers still standing. Most are cemented inside a block base. Alice Harrod's marker has script notations on the bottom.
F. H. Ross, mother of several buried in this cemetery. Chalk, which is easily washed off, was used to highlight the information.

 After chalking, we were able to read Washington L. Ross.

The things we do to find a cemetery. I was assisted on the venture by Yancy Dean Smith and her daughter, Sandy Mooneyham (at left).
We could have gone back to town and got a key to the gate, which was suppose to be unlocked, but decided to "do it the hard way".
