Another Trip to Ryo

Pictures of Pleasant Grove Baptist Church Cemetery

My Great Aunt says that it wasn't always called this, she said it was just called "Ryo"

When John R. Green started the church it was a Methodist church, note that it is now a Baptist church. Interesting.

Well, we tried it again but to no avail. We did not locate Lou Allen Green's grave. We attempted it believe me, but the land is being leased to a hunting club and we could not get back the approx 3/4 of a mile into the woods and down a logging road, to locate him. So we spent some time at the church taking photos. I will post what I have. Both "lines" are included. Jeremiah Green's line and Balous Green's line. One thing that I did notice as I was reading the inscriptions was that they proudly displayed their religion of choice. For example Jane M Cook (wife of L.A. Green ) reads.....She was a member of the baptist church 34 years. Interesting to me. Beautiful country that our ancestors lived in. Tough living though, you can tell by the lay of the land. Very "hilly" and parts are ridge-like. Pretty land though. I can see the appeal.
