is located 150 yards east of SR 1224 in. The oldest known interment is William Riley Stewart, son of John and Beneta Stewart, who died in 1876. There is also evidence of a number of unmarked gravesites. Now maintained by the nearby Gethsemane Free Will Baptist Church, the cemetery contains over seventy gravesites dating from 1876 to 1939. Not exclusively the Stewart family, many of the names appear on the early rolls of the Gethsemane FWB Church.
