Ave Maria Catholic Cemetery
Point of Interest:
The large black crucifix (shown in the photo above) in the lower part of the cemetery was erected in 1916 by the Martin family on the site of the original two churches. The first church was erected in 1859 and destroyed by fire in 1869. The second church was dedicated in July 1870 and destroyed by fire in November 1876. It was always rumored that the local KKK was responsible for the fires. The third church was built and dedicated in August 1883 on "Dudley Hill".
