History: Adjoined the old Antioch Primitive Baptist Church, which was
located next to Brushy Bayou Creek. The foundation of the old church
building is now in pieces and scattered along the banks of the creek. The
church was used 1870's to early 1900's.
Condition: Poor - overgrown in briars & weeds. Cattle have destroyed many stones and mangled the three sections of antique filigree fencing around some of the graves.
