Waldrop Cemetery, in the Brooks Community, got its name from the land donor, James Calvin Waldrop. This cemetery was established in 1872 with Mrs. Jemima Guest Gentry being buried there. The story goes that in 1872 Mrs. Gentry and her family were traveling toward home on the Old Pine Hill Road late one afternoon in a spring-seat wagon. During this drive they passed a beautiful cedar grove and Mrs. Gentry remarked that when she died, she wanted to be buried there. A few weeks later on June 18,1872, Mrs. Gentry died. The owners of the cedar grove, the Waldrop family, gave permission for Mrs. Gentry to be buried on that plot of ground.

The Harris Chapel Community Cemetery began during the Civil War when some slaves were buried there. Mr. Joe Harris, who lived near the school, donated the land. The first white man buried in this cemetery was a Mr. Gandy. The Cemetery Committee has always done a good job of keeping the grounds.

Langley Cemetery is located just outside Beckville city limits. It was named for the William Langley Family who donated the land. Mr. Jackson Langley, who died August, 1858, was the first person buried in the cemetery. He was the brother of William Langley.

Conner Cemetery is located approximately one mile north of Beckville. It has been used for burying since the late 1800’s; however, the land did not officially belong to the Cemetery Association until Alfred Brown Harris deeded it to the association in 1903. It is located on one of the highest hills near Beckville and during the 1930’s when the land was cleared for farming, it offered an excellent view of the town of Beckville and the school.
