To reach the Bethel Cemetery in Smyrna, driving southeast on Spring Road SE, turn left or north onto Woodland Ter SE just after you go over the RR tracks. The cemetery is on the east side of the road at the intersection with Bethel Road.

According to a monument at the entrance of the cemetery, placed there by the Ladies Ministry of the Bethel Baptist Church in 2001, this cemetery was established in 1867 by the Bethel Baptist Church and remains so today.

The cemetery is only moderately cared for, with overgrown weeds and small tree branches. Watch out for the bugs and thorns. Again, some of the stones are broken, and many are so old that they are completely worn away.

This is a list all legible tombstones in the cemetery. Unfortunatly there are many damaged and illegible stones, as well a very many unmarked graves. This is complete up to June of 2005.
