This cemetery became known as the Rice Cemetery because the Rice family owned land nearby. It may have also been locally called the Hartt Cemetery at one time. It is the second burial site of the Philadelphia Presbyterian Church. A book about the church's history is entitled The Presbyterian Gathering on Clear Creek by Russell Martin Kerr. The church's website gives additional information about the church and cemeteries. The burial records were provided in 7/2003 by George Timblin and the committee restoring this cemetery.
This church was established in 1783. The church and cemetery are separated by Ramah Church Rd. and are visible from the road.
It started in 1940. This is not a complete list of burials. Stones from the Barnett and Smartt cemetery, once located off Nations Ford Road, now the site of Vulcan Materials Co., were not able to be moved to Sharon, since they only allow flat marker. The cemetery can be seen from Monroe Rd. as well as Sharon Amity Rd.
