Lake Chapel Cemetery
Johnsonville, Florence County, South Carolina, USA
A one-room school near the church provided the only education available to the children of the neighborhood. Church and school had a happy location near Mineral Spring, famous for its helpful qualities as drinking water. A rustic shed protected the bubbling spring. Among Lake Chapel's earliest ministers was the Reverend John J. Powers (1843-1915), who married Martha Jane Williams of Georgetown County, and Henry H. Prater, a Yankee of German origin who had fought in the Civil War, but later settled in the Vox community. The chapel ceased services some time after 1944. The old chapel building was sold to the highest cash bidder in 1952, with proceeds benefiting the Connie Maxwell Baptist Orphanage. The cemetery remains and is still an active burial site for related families.
