There is one hand carved marker that is almost completely illegible. It may read “Opel Bouton.” Dates are illegible.

Vermont United Methodist Church

In 1876, settlers in the Cedar Grove area of Sullivan County erected a log building to serve for both church and school purposes. Fulton Hall gave the land, and Jonathan Clayman cut the first log for the building. Circuit Riders from both Methodist Episcopal Church and the Methodist Episcopal Church South held services there on a regular basis.

A white frame building was constructed in 1907 to replace the log building. In 1914, the Reverend I. B. Leonard led the congregation in building a larger white frame building to serve a growing congregation. For this building, land was given by Dr. and Mrs. A. D. Miller and the Reverend and Mrs. S. G. Ketron. Timber was cut and hauled by McKinley Stuffle and family. Mrs. Ketron had the name changed from Cedar Grove to Vermont because she said the beautiful hills and quiet village reminded her of the state of Vermont. Walter Coleman was the first Sunday School superintendent.

The church, dedicated in 1915, was on the Kingsport Circuit in Johnson City District, with six other churches.

The Ladies Aid Society was organized in 1915 with Fannie Vicars as president.

In 1940, land was purchased for a new building. The first worship service in the new church was held September 1941 by the Reverend T. H. House.

During World War II, Vermont was on the Bloomingdale Circuit with other churches, and the Reverend Harold J. Davis was the minister. In 1946, the Reverend Davis led the congregation in becoming a station church with the Reverend E. B. Randall as the first full-time pastor.

The new church was dedicated in 1950 by Bishop Paul B. Kern. The Reverend Frank C. Mason was the pastor, and Reverend Glen F. Lippse was District Superintendent.

Vermont became part of the Kingsport District, established in 1953, with the Reverend W. S. Steele as the first superintendent. The Reverend Dale C. Bittinger helped in planning and building a new parsonage. During the Reverend Ogleva Street’s pastorate a new brick church was planned and erected at Vermont. Reverend Street preached the first service in the new structure in March 1964.

Vermont United Methodist Church celebrated its centennial in 1977.

The second brick church at Vermont was dedicated by Bishop Ellis Finger in 1978. Dan Kelly was the minister.

History prepared by the Reverend James A. Dougherty from history written by Mrs. Hazel Grace.

I was looking for my Dads Grandmothers resting place. Her name is Bessie Edwards McGaha. The Kingsport Times edition in 1939 says her burial was at this cemetery but there is no record on your list. It was odd back then but her obituary was titled Mrs Jim McGaha in the newspaper. Is it possibly an unmarked or not legible marker?
