Mount Bethel Cemetery, marked by three tall trees along Johnson Ferry Road in East Cobb, was established in 1870 in what was then farm and cotton country near the Chattahoochee River, with some markers reaching back into the 1860s. It grew up beside Bethel Methodist Episcopal Church, organized in 1840 and known today as Mount Bethel United Methodist Church. Beyond its inscribed stones, the grounds hold many unmarked graves and at least 157 marked only by fieldstones or brick.
