This was the location of the old Salem Meeting House, an early Methodist Church. The Baptist were mentioned on two of the stones though.

Green Text is the inscription - Black text is the translation. We have not provided an inscription for all the stones.

Partially photographed (abt 33%) on 26 Feb 2016, Focus was mainly on the older stones, but main purpose was to capture the Coffey monuments. Listing evolved by using the listing from the book Bedford Co Cemeteries by Tim & Helen Marsh and adjusting that to the latest findings as revealed by the photos and other variants. We show 240+ listings more than any other site by merging the latest convergence of the historic knowledge of this cemetery.
