HISTORICAL NOTE: Baker Cemetery was originally the site of
the old Ashpole Presbyterian Church Cemetery. In 1861, the church relocated across the state
border into North Carolina, and the new Ashpole Presbyterian Church cemetery
was started that same year at its new location.

SURVEY by Sandra Brumbles & Sheila Berry, 22 Feb 2002.
DIRECTIONS: turn right at the caution light in Little Rock and follow this road
past Harlee's Bridge to Oakland Rd. Take a left and travel 4 and 2/10 miles to
State Line Rd. Right before and I mean right before State Line Road, Baker Cemetery
is on the left about 3/10 mile in the woods.
This cemetery has not been kept up at all. I noticed one person was
buried there in 1971.
