Pleasant Grove CemeteryAlso called �Crabtree Cemetery� or �Taylor/Crabtree Cemetery�The Pleasant Grove Cemetery is located in Molino, behind the site of the Pleasant Grove United Methodist Church (original church building 1905; rebuilt in the early 1950�s; completely destroyed by arson May, 2003).� Regular church services here were discontinued in the mid-1960�s when members merged with Aldersgate United Methodist Church, or moved to McGhee or Lathram Chapels.� Annual �Homecomings� are, however, still held here by the many descendants of the founding members, and the cemetery continues in use for those families.� (The �left� side of the cemetery is generally used by descendants of the Taylors, while the �right� side is allocated to Crabtrees and Vaughans.) Directions:� From Pensacola, go North on Hwy 29 to Molino Road (State Road 182); turn left (West) on 182 and go west 2.4 miles to Sunshine Road.� Turn right and go north 1 mile to Crabtree Church Road.� Turn left and go west again for 1.8 miles to Gibson Road.� Turn right and go north about 100 yards on Gibson Road.
