Add PhotosThis cemetery is the result of the split in the Methodist Episcopal Churches after the Civil War. The group in Mechanicsville broke from Mt. Zion M. E. in Laurel Grove and went over to the M. E. South {"Southern Methodists"}. They tried to get Mt. Zion to switch but failed. It was a pretty nasty episode - one faction locked the other's preacher out. Around 1910, the Mechanicsville M. E. South group merged into Bethel M. E. South at Budd's Creek. After the northern and southern M.E. groups merged in 1939, the local M.E. South congregations became part of one larger church - La Plata United Methodist in Charles County.
