Holly Pond Cemetery

Holly Pond Cemetery, marked by an antique arch, encompasses 10 acres and a chapel built in 1975. The site was chosen to replace the burial ground in the center of town and make room for the town to grow. The first acre was deeded to the deacons of the Baptist Church and the stewards of the Methodist Church. The first burial was a child, W. R. Hendrix, on 15 August, 1894. Many of the early settlers who came here after the Civil War are interred here, including veterans of that conflict. The cemetery has been maintained by the Holly Pond Homemakers Club since 1949. As Holly Pond has grown, so has the cemetery, providing the final resting place for over 2000 people.
