There are 76 veterans buried in the cemetery, including those who fought in the Civil War, World War I, World War II and Korean War.
Historically the cemetery has been associated with the Mission Ridge Baptist Church. At one time there was a one-room church on the cemetery grounds, but later it was torn down, and a new church was built just to the south of the cemetery. The church housed a Southern Baptist congregation for many years, then became a Missionary Baptist Church. The church still stands, but has not been occupied in recent years.
The large number of veterans buried in the cemetery is something that "just happened," according to Jim Dryer, a member of the caretaker organization that maintains the cemetery.
He said that many years ago families had more children, and that many of the kids went off to war. Dryer emphasized that the group doesn't sell cemetery lots - it gives them away. The cemetery is maintained through donations.
Following the ceremony, the group adjourned to the church for a business meeting. The members also sang a few hymns, such as "The Battle Hymn of the Republic."
Dryer said the group plans to put new windows in the church so it can have a good meeting place. Hadley Thomas, of Buffalo, has been secretary-treasurer of the group since 1947.
There are seven Civil War veterans buried in the cemetery, including A. Wayne Harrell, George Nasalroad, John G. Kraller, James Hall, W.R. KEE, William H. Darby and Thomas E. Mustain.
Other veterans include: Paul Adams, Homer Atteberry, Truman Atteberry, William Atteberry, Junior Baker, James Ballew, Richard Becker, Lenard Berry, Max Blattner, Bert Bright, Earl Campbell, John Cotton, Chesten Donald, Alvin Dryer; Jake Ehrman, Bent Ethridge, Lester Ethridge, James Fowler, Walter Hagen, Roy Hale, William Oscar Hanshaw, Billy Hardison, Ernest Harper, Douglas Harrell, Bill Hodges, Junior Hodges, Charles Hopper, John Hopper, Berthe W. Hyde, Oliver Kays, Herbert Keller, Wendell Kirk, Roma Kirk; Earl Landeth, Clifford Landrith, L.C. LaRose, Jessie Mabary, Clare Mahaffey, William C. Marsh, Alford Miller, Corky Miller, Fred Miller, Jack Morrow, Jarold Morrow, Robert Morrow, Jim Nelson, Charles Paylor, John Paylor, Nelson Paylor, Eddie Phipps, Elzy Rich, R.G. Roberts, James C. Smith, John Smitherman, Tony Smitherman, A.C. Stinette, Albert Sutton, David Sutton, George Sutton, Gladys Sutton, James West, Albert Williams, James Burell Williams, Lee Roy Williams, Ritchey Williams, Vernon Williams, James Willis, Pearl Willis, James Wilson, Bud Worley.
