Brief History of Cemetery
This is the second and the largest of the three cemeteries for Wahoo Baptist Church.
History tells us that from 1819 until 1892 three different log structures were occupied. Afterward two frame buildings were erected, in 1892 and 1932; both were destroyed by fire. After the last fire in 1953, work began on the present building.
Wahoo has had 26 different pastors since its establishment. The first being William Christopher (#8-9), who's tenure lasted for 41 1/2 years. The early church diligently carried out the Rules of Decorum and precepts of the Bible. Breaches of moral conduct, etc. were resolved ; upon acknowledgement and repentance fellowship was quickly restored.
Slaves attended services. Five are listed as members in the early records. Approximately twenty are buried in the cemetery.Oldest Birth Year - 1786, Oldest Burial - 1862, 1057 Legible Stones
