Approximately 120 years ago, a plot of land, east of Sweetwater Creek, was given to a group of people to build a church. The land was given to them by Mr. Robert "Bob" Lowery. The group built and organized the Sweetwater Baptist Church on the said plot. The church moved to its present site in the late 1880's. In 1919 the church was destroyed by fire. The cemetery is located in Crenshaw County.
