It most likely is the burial site of African-Americans, who were members of a church and/or a fraternal organization. Early members may have been associated with the Flint Hill Baptist Church and left to start their own church after the Civil War.

The church owned a 175' x 250' tract; Knights of the Guiding Star of the East Lodge No. 29 owned 87.37' by 250', and U. S. Rubber Co. owned it by June 1942, as part of a 2266.32 acre tract north of the intersection of Texland and Westinghouse; west of Texland is a ravine below the railroad track.

Daniel-Allen Cemetery

This cemetery had 10 graves but only two with readable stones. It was to be relocated from the property of the J. A. Jones Construction Co. The County Commissioners asked that the graves be moved to the Pineville Cemetery. The information on the stones was about Henry W. Daniel of GA who gave his life for his beloved Southland 6-9-1864 and Annie Thrower, wife of H. W. Allen, who died in 1873. This was formerly near the old pump station and between U. S. 21 S. and the Southern Railway tracks. It was about 2 miles from the Starmount subdivision.

 

Galilee Church Cemetery

This cemetery has at least 17 additional stones or bricks that are unnamed or broken beyond recognition. It is very spread out and difficult to determine if there are other unmarked graves. One grave was also recently dug and has no headstone yet.  This cemetery is at the southeast side of the intersection of Nations Ford Road and the 5500 block of Radford Avenue.
