Cemetery is a rural African American settlement named for the Stones River National Cemetery. Newly freed African Americans settled here shortly after the war and the first school and churches were established in the late 1860s and early 1870s. The Cemetery School operated from 1874 to 1962. Stones River Methodist Church and Ebenezer Primitive Baptist Church remain today.
