Add PhotosSamuel Whitworth sold this piece of land back in the year 1877 to Andrew Mikas. Four acres were excluded from the sale where Howel's or Harrel's Chapel and graveyard were located. This Methodist Church was established around the year 1843.
Six acres of land were sold by Samuel Jayne and John Watt to a group of men to build a house of worship for the use of the ministers of the Methodist Episcopal Church.
Although, several graves have been moved, there are graves still here and there is evidence of many unmarked graves.
Mr. Owen Roberts copied this cemetery in 1959. The oldest marker found in Lincoln County, belongs to Willaim Jones Jayne who died in the year 1835.
Lyle Hobbs, the current owner of this property erected a fence around this property to protect the cemetery from further damage. You will need permission from Mr. Hobbs to visit this cemetery.
