Laodicea Primitive Baptist Church Cemetery   (no grave layout)

The Loadicea Primiive Baptist church is on the CCA - Thomas Creek Tract, and there is no public access to this cemetery.

According to information found in Volume 3 #2 of the Jacksonville Genealogical Society Quarterly, published in 1975, this was once a large cemetery which was abandoned in 1955. The Laodicea Primitive Baptist Church once stood on this site. The only Surviving grave that can be identified is that of Caroline E. Hightower. According to Linda Dyal Johns, Her great-grandfather, John Zacharias Hightower was burried next to the grave of his wife Caroline Eveline (Nettles) Hightower in 1928. Caroline Hightower's birth and death dates are listed in the cemetery database.This was once a thriving church and evidence of other graves exist, but no markers are in evidence. The photograph below is also courtesy of Linda Dyal Johns.

This survey was made in May 1993 by Ann Duff, Shirley McCabe and Joan Johnson. A survey by Thomas Sikes in 1974 indicated an additional four unmarked adult graves were found
