Yallo Busha
Cemetery -
aka Henderson Burying Ground, aka
Lain Family, aka Lilly Creek Bottoms Burying Place, aka Hopewell
On Pine Grove Rd (CR
2455) about 5 miles N of Old Simpsonville, at the
intersection of CR 3412, 10 miles SW of Pittsburg.
**According to Camp County Story, it was Henderson
Burying Ground first....then Yallo Busha. Jim Keel is
the person that named the community Yallo Busha after
a place in his native Alabama. Then later the Lain
family (per 1970 story) had 5 sets of grandparents
buried there, which would account for that name. It
was located on Lilly Creek Bottom. In 1909 Hopewell
Baptist Church was built in the same area and the
community & cemetery soon adopted that name.
