CEMETERY HISTORY:
------------------------

Located about 3 miles northwest of Liberty between Golden Creek and Twelve Mile 
River and organized in 1909, Smith Chapel was built on land donated by the late 
Z.O. Smith(from whom the church acquired its name). Smith passed away in 1933. 
and he and his wife are buried in the church cemetery. 

In 1931 the church was rebuilt while Glenn L. Stewart was pastor. Then in 1950, 
during the pastorate of Oscar Baker Stewart, the church was remodeled. An 
auxiliary building was added to the church property in 1973. The pastor of Smith 
Chapel Wesleyan Church in 1976 was Jesse Clyde Byars.
