Big Fork Cemetery began use not long after the Big Fork Baptist Church first opened for services in 1808. The Church, which ceased function around 1860, is no longer visible but if one looks closely you can still see signs of where it once stood. There are approximately 236 graves in the cemetery, with many easily recognizable local surnames, like Cummings, Denney, Haston, Madewell, Mitchell, Reedy and Shockley, along with many others. For those headstones that are difficult to read, please do not use caustic substances or abrasive materials to reveal. A soft bristle brush, plastic paint scraper, orvus soap and lots of water will work wonders.
