First used as early as the 1860s, this burial ground served the congregation of the Antioch Church of Christ, which was started in 1836. The property was deeded to Elders Thomas M. Baggett and N. W. Ware in 1880 by Stephen Passmore. The earliest marked graves here are for S. H. Dwire (1878-1883), John G. Baggett (1820-1886), Catherine Ware (1810-1886), and Calvin Bland (1820-1891). Other graves include those of several Confederate veterans of the Civil War and many pioneer settlers of the area. The cemetery is still used in association with the Antioch church.
