Mount Olive existed at least from 1839 to 1875. The church is now gone, and the cemetery has been destroyed (prior to 1980.) The few remaining markers have been pushed by a bulldozer against a fence. Nineteen (19) of the stones have been READ. It is feared they too, may soon be gone. Some of the people buried here were Fayette Countians and their connections. This information dated 1980. (The exact spot of this cemetery, before destruction, is unknown. editor)
