Auburn Cemetery
Pioneer settlers used this site for burials as early as 1856, in 1865 it was part of 20.5 acres deeded to the Methodist Church for a school and church by Rezi Jarvis Banks (1817-1889). A Confederate Army Veteran born in Tennessee, among the earliest marked graves is that of Banks' wife Minervia (1822-1893). In the late 1800s, Auburn was a thriving farming community with four churches, stores, and a Post Office. Later the lack of high school facilities and the bypassing of Auburn by the Railroad compelled residents, to move away, the cemetery is a link with the town's past.
