The Highbaugh Cemetery is located in a pasture field approximately one-tenth of a mile northwest of Mt. Pisgah Baptist Church. It is also approximately one-tenth of a mile west of the Wabash Road and a few hundred yards north of Bacon Creek Road (Highway 728). The cemetery is located on a hill and at one time contained a number of cedar trees that visibly marked its location from Bacon Creek Road. When accessing the cemetery, I parked at the late Robert “Bob” Cates homestead. The lane to the Cates homestead is off Wabash Road and a just a few yards north of the Bacon Creek Bridge. I then walked westward through the pasture field to the cemetery. There were at least three (3) rock markers found with no inscription. Two were found in the vicinity of the graves of George and Hariet Highbaugh, and another was found near the grave of Carlton Cruse. I transcribed the cemetery information from the gravestones in January 1995. At that time the larger cedar trees had recently been cut from the cemetery. Unfortunately sawbriars and a variety of tree saplings were already beginning to supplant the cedar trees that had been removed. James H. Turner |
