Simms Creek, Pleasant Grove was settled by Civil War veterans
from both the North and South. The farm of Tom Berry (1844-1926)
of Alabama adjoined this cemetery, opened with the burial of his
daughter Mary (1872-1876). Pleasant Grove Methodist Church and
a community school also stood nearby. Donations maintained the
site until a cemetery association was organized in 1969. Church
trustees added 15 acres to the burial ground in 1970. In over
400 graves, many unmarked, lie early settlers and their descendants.
