Pine Hill Methodist Cemetery

William Henderson Hillin established the Pine Hill community in 1844, and over the next few years additional pioneers settled there as this burial ground was established. The oldest marked grave is that of Wilson Sanders, dating to 1854. Veterans of military conflicts and civic leaders are among those interred there, and its features include vertical stones, obelisks, and curbing. Pine Hill grew steadily through the 1800s, but fires in 1916 and 1937 and the closing of a railroad through the town led to its decline. Today the cemetery remains a record of the early pioneering residents of this historic community.
