Shiloh Baptist Church Cemetery

This cemetery is located in White Oak.  From White Oak, take the White Oak Rd, cross over the 4 way stop at White Oak Rd./George Ritchie Rd. At the  2nd road to right, turn right and go to the end of the road.  The cemetery is on the left. This church and cemetery have historical markers. 

This cemetery is "scattered" over 3 different locations.  There are 4 graves on the corner across the street from the church.  The "old" section is beside the church.  The "new" section is across the street behind a little strip of woods.

According to local tradition former slave Butcher Christian, and noted post-Civil War church organizer the Rev. John Baptist established this church in 1871. Services began in a log sanctuary located on 3 acres donated by Butcher Christian. A school for African Americans operated there until about the 1890s. An adjacent cemetery, with marked graves dating to 1882, is still active. revenues from oil discovered on church land were used to build a new sanctuary here in 1936. Shiloh Baptist serves the community with a variety of programs. --Texas Atlas
