Bethesda Cemetery &
Selected Obituaries
In 1888, two church members recognized the need for a cemetery at the church so that church members could bury their dead in the church yard rather than in the small family plots near their homes as had been the custom from the earliest days of European settlement.  Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Tugggle donated on acre of ground next to the church for the purpose, stipulating that burial there was open to anyone, church member or not, at no cost. The first burial in the church yard was that of Mrs. Harriet Mitchell.  The church assumed responsibility for maintaining the cemetery in good condition.  In 1945, Mr. Millard Swann donated half an acre of ground adjacent to the church yard so as to extend the boundaries of the burial ground, which was nearly filled by that time.  In September 1975, the congregation set up the " Bethesda Church Cemetery Trust Fund"  to provide continuing care for the graves of the faithful departed who ther await the great and promised Day of Jesus Christ.  That November, Miss Lola Richards was granted permission to plant dogwoods and crepe myrtles around the cemetery.  Burial rights  in the cemetery today are restricted to church members or to members of the immediate family of a church member.  History of Bethesda Baptist Church --- Richard Noegel
