Pleasant Grove Cemetery
Verona, Augusta County, Virginia, USA
(Former Pleasant Grove Methodist Church)
Located on 789, about 200 feet off 612 (about 1 mile east of Verona) on the left side of the road in a grove of trees, just before the 1st house which stands about where the church stood.
It is said the cemetery which is about 100' X 100' originally had a fence down the middle, with white persons being buried on the South side and black persons on the North side. This is logical, since there were many black members of Methodist churches prior to the Civil War.
Thanks to Glenda Lambert-Gibson, who transcribed this cemetery September 8, 2009
Note: Following the directions on Google maps, did not yield the absolute location. These GPS coordinates are my best guess, please verify for yourself. It is 2.7 miles away from Verona, which does not match Ms Lambert-Gibson's description.
