The Church no longer holds services.(2002)
*The Church was built in 1949 at the Cemetery site which was
used by the disbanded James Chapel, which was located about a
mile from Ariton on the River Road, near the Nance home.
The Holmes Church was named for Henry Holmes,b.1798; d.25June 1867,
who owned the land which the burial grounds.
His Great, Great grand-daughter came from Washington, D.C., in 1991,
and placed coping and a marker at the site of his and his wife's graves.
There are many unmarked and broken graves, It is a well kept cemetery.
On March 24, 2002 , I was met at the Cemetery by Bea Scovill and her
brother Abe Garner, I was on Row 5 of doing the survey, Bea had found
a Survey that was done in 1992,by Dave and Virginia Myers, since their
survey there has not been many burials, but looks like there has been
new Headstones placed, I have put a * near the info from their survey,
that we could not read the names or dates. The back row which I call
9 has a lot of markers that are broken or very hard to read.
Good luck to all.
