Earliest tombstone burial: James A. Frazer on Sept. 10, 1866History: Also known as Tabor Cemetery, Mt. Tabor was an early settlement of about 12 houses, it's main purpose was to supply oak and hickory wood to fire a brick factory. The church,.located east of the cemetery, was torn down about 1900. Before the curved road was straightened, graves in the north section were moved farther south. But many years Iater when grading was being done on the road some graves were found outside of the northwest corner of the cemetery these were probably some not moved originally when the road was first straightened. The cemetery is fenced, at the end of a long dirt Iane. There are 5 other graves along the west fence marked with rocks. There is a report that there are childrens' burials all the way across the west fence. There are other, about 10, unmarked mounds throughout the cemetery.
