A little history of Harmony Cemetery
Harmony Primitive Baptist Church was formerly located near the intersection of Old Harmony Road and Buddy Neill Road just to the northeast of its present site. The new church-house was constructed in 1952. Prior to its being relocated, most burials from the church were held at Pratt Cemetery. James Lee Arnold of the Harmony Community donated the land for the new church building and cemetery in the early 1950s. The first burial here was Youngie LaFayette/Fate Arnold who was the brother of James Lee. Their parents, Joel Arnold and Sarah Paris Arnold are buried at Pratt Cemetery and James's wife Lockie Demarious Maynard is also buried at Pratt. However, James decided in later years to be buried at Harmony, the land where he was born, next to his brother Youngie.

Flat rock located between graves of James Lee and Youngie Arnold with following:
A TRIBUTE OF LOVE
Upon this soil our grandfathers were born to be
Arnold brothers
Youngie Fate and James Lee
Together they lived as they went on their way
and together they rest
until that great day.
With this land James Lee was the one who gave
within this land Youngie Fate was the first
to be laid.
