DIRECTIONS: From the courthouse in Marianna, FL go .9 mile south on Hwy 73. Cemetery is on the right side of hwy located behind Holly Grove Freewill Baptist Church.

The church has no ties with the cemetery but the present pastor and his wife deserves many many thanks for taking on the task of keeping the cemetery clean. Whey they arrived two years ago a person could not see the cemetery because of the leaves, pinestraw, and bushes. They cleaned it up and have kept it maintained ever since. There are many trees of different kinds in this cemetery.

          Safely Home
 I am home in Heaven, dear ones; Oh, so happy and so bright!
 There is perfect Joy and Beauty in this everlasting light.
 All the pain and grief is over, every restless tossing passed;
 I am now at peace forever, safely home in heaven at last.

 Did you wonder I so calmly trod the valley of the shade?
 Oh! but Jesus Love illumined every dark and fearful glade.

 And He came himself to meet me in thay way so hard to tread;
 and with Jesus' Arm to lean on, could I have one doubt fo dread?

 Then you must not grieve so sorely, for I love you dearly still;
 Try to look beyond earth's shadows, pray to trust our Father's will.

 There is work still waiting for you, so you must not idly stand;
 Do it now, while life remaineth. You shall rest in Jesus' Land.

 When that work is all completed, He will gently call you home;
 Oh, the rapture of that meeting; Oh, the joy to see you come.

A precous one from us has gone, a voice we loved is stilled, a place is
vacant in our home which never can be filled. God in His wisdom has
recalled the Boon his love has given, and though the body moulders here,
the soul is safe in heaven.
