This cemetery is in desperate need of attention. Since my photo of the church and cemetery in 2004, more of the cemetery has been taken over by nature and dozens of graves are now hidden away and some are terribly damaged from fallen trees. Bobby Muggridge of St. Simons Island put together an inventory many years ago and I was able to find nearly all of the stones for the names he provided.

I have found numerous names for this cemetery in public records. The Cemetery Survey Committee sanctioned by the City of Brunswick in the late 1990's originally "named" this cemetery Bull Island Road Cemetery and it has become generally known by this name. In the early 1900's the cemetery was just called Everett City Cemetery or Everett Cemetery. I've also seen some death certificates that say Bethlehem or Shiloh Cemetery.

Now that signage is in place outside of the church, I am going to refer to this cemetery by First African Missionary Baptist Church; however, to avoid a large upheaval in programming, I'm going to leave the URL directed to "bullisland".

I revisited this cemetery in April of 2020 and inventoried as many stones as I could access. Dozens were covered in debris and could barely be reached; thus some of the tombstone photos show the stone at a bad angle or a bit blurry because I had to balance on one leg while weaving through bushes LOL
