McKinney Cove Baptist Church Cemetery |
 McKinney Cove Baptist Church and the cemetery as seen from just above the church. The church sits on a hill above a retaining wall, which is only partially visible in this photo. The cemetery lies above and behind the church. The church is at the corner of McKinney Cove Road and Green Young Cemetery Road. |
 |
 The grave of the Rev. Charles H. McKinney (1854-1934) and his wife Sarah S. McKinney (1860-1941). Rev. McKinney was pastor of the church from 1894 to 1934. |
 The grave of Henry T. Wilson (1839-1905) and his wife Sarah A. McKinney Wilson (1848-1937). There was a small Confederate battle flag on grave when this photo was made. The roof of the church is visible in the background. |
 |
 The graves of Union veterans Clate & William Garland. |
 |
 |
| Many of the older graves of children are marked by diamond-shaped stones like these. | |
 The stone marking the grave of Ernest McKinney (1903-1926) is broken but still quite legible. |
 Stokes Wilson (1885-1906) |
 |
 |
| The graves of W. G. Turbyfill (1861-1942) and his wife, Altha Ellis Turbyfill (1863-1929). | |
 P. M. Wilson (1847-1922) |
 His wife, Martha Wilson (1844-1914) |
 Elizabeth Wilson (1850-1917), wife of Leonard Wilson |
 Aaron McKinney (1864-1914) |
 Katie Ellis (1831-1909) |
 I found the stone of Maud J. Ellis particularly difficult to read. Warren Pritchard gives her date of birth as 31 May 1902. |
 |
 |
 |
| These three stones have no legible markings, but all are clearly cut stone. The center stone and the stone on the right, in particular, appear to have had inscriptions at one time. The center stone appears to have been broken. | ||
Notes:
Information in italics indicates comments by the surveyor.
This cemetery fans out from the top of the hill and is not laid out in straight rows.
Where a stone has apparently been placed for a person still living, that person's date of birth is withheld.
Except for footstones, inscriptions in all caps have been converted to upper and lower case.
