Location: About one mile northwest of St. Matthews Baptist Church on the Bell Road, S-18-299.This burying ground is in the woods beside the Bell Road and grown up. A visit was made to this graveyard in winter of 1976 by Pattie W. Heaton, Florell M. Weeks, Paul Weeks, and Lillian H. Harley. Only one tombstone was found, that of Rev. Fewox. Mrs. Weeks stated that she had previously seen more markers there and knew that there had been several. Mr. Marion F. Rumph visited the same cemetery in winter of 1978 and found two tombstones, the Rev. Fewox, and Mary Weeks. They are listed below. Mr. & Mrs. Raymond Billbough reported to Frances T. Patrick two tombstones, that of Rev. Fewox and Mary Weeks. Same below. In Louise T. Bishop's history of Limestone Baptist Church, we find that Rev. Fewox was at Limestone in 1887, which was ten years before his death. Frances T. Patrick reports that "Belvin Rumph's granddaddy owned the property at one time, also, Clark Canaday was a former owner."
