Robbie Fulgham and a friend, Dennis Hearn went to Linn Baptist and Methodist Church Cemeteries several years ago. He remembered this old abandoned cemetery a couple miles from the Linn Baptist Church and Cemetery, off Hwy 442 about 1/2 mile. The land and surrounding area of the abandoned Old Linn Baptist Church Cemetery are farmed in cotton. It was disked and rowed up to the edge of this overgrown part where a few of the stones were located.
Mr. Hearn said many of the stones have been destroyed. They located mainly broken stones scattered about the perimeter of this overgrown area. It has been said that some of the graves and stones were removed and relocated at the 'new' church cemetery location. It was known that there were "Halls" buried at this old location also. However, the only one we did locate was not in very good condition at all. It was located in an area that I wouldn't go in, even higher weeds and thick briars. Here is a listing of those stones that were located.
