Brick Church Cemetery
Sinking Fork Baptist Church

The Brick Church Cemetery is located approximately 4 miles north on Highway 91 (Princeton Road).  It is generally associated with the Baptist Church because its location is adjacent to the Church property.  However, there is no affiliation between the church and the cemetery.
