Mount Olive has at least 70 marked graves. Among these are about 45 identified graves, with burial dates ranging from 1931 to 1988. Apparently, all of these are African-American. Further research has revealed that this section is actually the burying ground of the Mount Olive Baptist Church. In published death notices and at least one death certificate (1925), this cemetery has been called Little Mount Olive Baptist and, later, New Mount Olive Baptist. The original church was located in the Fortson area and moved relatively recently from a site east of the cemetery and on the south side of Biggers Road to a more central location in Columbus. At last visit, the cemetery was being kept up - weeds and brush cut back and stones clear of debris.
Located in the same area is the Pace Cemetery (access to Pace is the same as above), which is very nearly buried under massive debris of leaves, fallen trees, limbs and such.
