This is the former location of the Dutchville Primitive Baptist Church. The church is long gone, but some concrete steps still remain on the property. The church was still active in the 1920s. The church was disbanded in 1960 and the land was returned to the heirs of the original donors. Sometime about 1976 the land and cemetery were purchased by Mary Green Chase and her husband Fred M. Chase. All of the property surrounding this cemetery is owned by Living Word Baptist Church which owns a new building on the property beside and behind the cemetery.
