See also Macedonia Baptist Church
Cemetery - Across the Road.
It is
unknown how the two cemeteries developed.
Speculation by church members say that one
filled up and the other was started. However,
looking at the dates and layout of the two
cemeteries suggest they formed together. The
families in each cemetery are closely
intertwined. Church tradition does say that the
location of the church was chosen because it is
in the "gap between the two communities". More
research is needed.
Macedonia Baptist Church split off of Cathey's
Creek Baptist Church around 1842. This was due
to the distance members had to travel and the
slavery issue. The Macedonia congregation was
anti-slavery, or at least tired of all the
pro-slavery sermons at Cathey's Creek.
