This old cemetery is located five miles south of Higginson on the west side of Highway 11, just beyond the Ellis Chapel Methodist
Church, which located here in 1914. It originally was named Glade Creek Cemetery, and has also been known as Goodwin
Cemetery because it was established on land donated by the Goodwin family. A former resident of this area told the White County
Historical Society in 2007 that the first burial here was “a little Ellis girl” in an unmarked grave on the side of the creek opposite
