This small cemetery/memorial is located on the property of the First Baptist Church in Milan. From the South entrance of the Post Office, turn South off Main Street onto Church Street. The entrance to a parking area is to your East (left), and as you enter the graves are on your right, in between the old and newer church buildings. LW



The original church was torn down in 1916 and the domed church that still stands was completed in 1917. The graves and tombstones were to the rear and west of the church. In 1920 an addition was made. The tombstones were moved west and in 1939 another addition resulted in the stones being moved south to their present location. The bodies of Reverend Samuel Price Clark and his wife were never moved and are located under the extension of the domed church. As a child I used to be fascinated by these tombstones. As an adult I want Reverend Clark's burial site to be noted. The First Baptist Church Cemetery should be noted as a Cenotaph rather than an actual burial. The tombstones have been moved two or three times. The bodies remain under the first addition.
