PALESTINE PENTECOSTAL CHURCH CEMETERY

Palestine Pentecostal Church Cemetery, May 1999

 

            Like many nearby Pentecostal churches, Palestine Pentecostal Church established a cemetery during the 1960s. The cemetery is located on a narrow strip of land between the church and its outbuildings on one side and an athletic field on the other side. When visited in 1999, the cemetery suffered from a grave decoration fad. Most graves were surrounded by a raised border and covered with white sand or white gravel. This would make moving and trimming difficult. In 1999 the difficulty in mowing has been dealt with by using an herbicide to kill all grass around the graves, so every grave was surrounded by a ring of dead grass, as seen in the photograph above. David Donahue recorded this cemetery May 1, 1999 and checked and updated it in April 2004..
