Rentfro Cemetery is at the site of what was once the Ebenezer Methodist Church, sometimes called Ebenezer Cemetery in old records. The 1881 History of Effingham County states: "The first church edifice built in the township, perhaps, was a log structure in the north part, on Section 2, and was free to all denominations; likewise was used for school purposes. It was a log building and erected in 1852. It was long used for school and church purposes, then sold and moved away and converted into a barn. In the meantime, Ebenezer Methodist Episcopal Church had been organized, and after the old log church had been sold and moved away, they set about the erection of a new church. This was accomplished in 1869, at a cost of $644 in money, and donations in material and labor sufficient to increase the cost to about 11,000. The membership is about sixty, and the present pastor is Rev. H. K. Jones. An interesting Sunday school is maintained."
In 1952, the church was destroyed and the congregation joined with the Shumway Methodist Church in the town of Shumway, just north of here.

Here is a photo of the new monument which now replaces the old wooden sign.
