PENIEL BAPTIST CHURCH CEMETERY Parcel #21-10-26-0000-0870-0010 Silver Lake Drive and Peniel Church Road. This is an old Pioneer Cemetery with Pioneer settlers and Confederate Veterans buried here. Peniel Baptist Church is one of the oldest congregations in Putnam County. A short history was written and published in 1982, by Ms. Leola Smith Young. It is titled, THE PENIEL LIGHTHOUSE; HISTORY OF THE PENIEL BAPTIST CHURCH (PENIEL), PALATKA, FLORIDA 1852-1982. This little book is long out of print, but it can still be found in some libraries, and once in a great while, on eBay. That is where I bought mine. If you contact the Church, 5227 Silver Lake Drive, Palatka, FL 32177. Phone: (386)-3548, they may have a copy available, but, doubtful. This is also where Reverend Billy Graham was met by Reverend Cecil Underwood, and convinced to switch from Presbyterianism, to Baptist, and was baptized in a nearby lake. Contrary to popular belief, Rev. Graham’s first sermon was not here, but at a small church in Bostwick. He had four sermons prepared, he said in an interview shortly before his death, but was so nervous that he delivered all four in ten minutes! The cemetery is still active with an additional area added in June of 1996. But when I inquired about early records, I was advised that early records either didn't exist, or were in 'disarray'. So this list is comprised of a physical survey done sometime in 1976, and deposited in the Palatka Public Library, before it became the head of the Putnam County Library System. Markers in existence then may not be there now. Members of the Putnam County Genealogical Society, the Putnam County Archivist, and other interested volunteers updated it on October 5, 2002. SATSUMA QUAD N 29^o 36.925 W 81^o42026 (Maintained). This cemetery was updated by a photographic survey conducted in 2011 and 2012 by Mary E. Murphy. HOME
