Salem Primitive Baptist Church Cemetery

GPS Coordinates: 35° 26¢ 07² N, 87° 41¢ 34² W

Submitted by David & Martha Montgomery. This enumeration was completed on Thursday, March 29, 2007. Updated 16 February 2009.

To reach the Salem Primitive Baptist Church Cemetery, from the courthouse square in Waynesboro. Travel east on highway 64 for 1.2 miles and turn left onto highway 99. Go approximately 2.5 miles to the Wayne County Memory Gardens. Continue on highway 99 by turning left at the Memory Gardens and go 4 miles. Turn left in front of the Topsy Fire Department onto Topsy Road and travel 3 miles. Turn right onto Pea Ridge Road and go .5 miles. Turn left onto Salem Church Rd. and go .3 miles down the hill. The church and cemetery are at the base of the hill overlooking the Buffalo River. The church was organized in 1821.

The following remarks are those of Clifford Allen Meredith on March 11, 2007 during a Wayne County Historical Society meeting at the church.

The first settlers came to Wayne County in 1815 by wagon train. The members of this party camped at a big spring overnight. Lovic & Jane Rasbury were traveling with the wagon train. Their child became ill, died and became the first grave in this cemetery. Jane Rasbury would not move on because her child was buried here.

The total members being ten, Lovic Rasbury, was chosen and ordained deacon. The door was opened for reception of members. Lonnie Staggs & Elijah Pope were received. Elder, Willis Dodson of Hickman County was the first pastor. Lovic Rasbury & Thomas Meredith were the deacons for many years. Elder, Edd Perkins became a deacon in 1834. By 1900 the membership was ninety-one.

About 1875, the log church building was replaced by the present building. In 1929, the association discontinued church at Salem. On November 15, 1953, the church was reorganized with R.G. Rhodes called as pastor with Stanley Hinson as assistant. Ordained deacons were Clifford Meredith, Clemon Meredith and Floyd Broadway. Present deacons are Jimmy Doyle Meredith & Clifford Allen Meredith, the latter also serving as church clerk. Presently, the pastor is Elder Clifton Johnson.

Enumerators Note:
There are approximately 100 unknown graves in this cemetery. Of the approximately 450 persons presently buried here, 42% of those were born in the 1800’s. Of that number, 25% of those were born and also died in the 1800’s. Lovic & Jane Meredith, born 25 Feb 1781 & 21 Aug 1777 respectively were the parents of the child who was the first person buried here.
