"Oak Grove Baptist Church and Cemetery were established here in the early 1870s by Rev. R.E. Bell. Church minutes of 1877 describe the location as "Oak Grove, Florida." By 1886 it was referred to as "Dade City Baptist Church."

In the early 1890s, the congregation transferred to other local churches. The pulpit Bible was donated to Withlacoochee Baptist Church and the pulpit, pews, and other furnishings were "given to poor churches." The building was abandoned but the land continued to be used as a cemetery."

This is a photo of the other side which states "continued on the other side" on the other photo already on this site.
