The Story

Also recorded as the House of Prayer Cemetery, this small churchyard lies along a dirt road in the rural Dixie Union community north of Waycross. It surrounds a plain one-room Primitive Baptist church set just off US Highway 1 and is easy to pass by from the main road. Around a hundred graves rest here, reflecting the modest, close-knit character of the settlement it has long served.
