This cemetery has not been used for burials since the mid-forties. The land was owned by Reed Beasley. He told the cemetery committee they could no longer use the land for burials. The first burials were in the late 1800's. The relatives and descendants had to locate another location for their burials. They now have the Macedonia Cemetery. The father of Joyce Pruitt Norman, Austin Pruitt, Sr., was buried in the cemetery in 1945 and the family has erected a Memorial Monument in the Macedonia Cemetery for him.

This cemetery is located directly behind (West) of the Linden Cemetery #1, just north of downtown Linden on Hwy 125.

The cemetery is known to be predominantly African-America.
