Friendship United Methodist Church Cemetery (Davilla)

William T. Walker (1824-1885) was an early settler in this area, establishing a Methodist church at Friendship in 1872 and serving as a trustee until his death in 1885. He was the first to be buried here a year after Edward Wesley Graham (1819-1901), responding to the community's growing needs, deeded some five acres of land at this site for "church, parsonage, burial or other church purposes."
