Codys cemetery is in a field by the Washademoak Lake shore on the opposite side of the road from the Baptist Church. The Thornetown Baptist Burying Ground is an extremely old cemetery. There are upwards of at least 75 - 100 unmarked burials. A few individuals known to be buried here were recorded in the records of the Thornetown Baptist Church.
The Hetherington Cemetery is located within the Codys Baptist Cemetery inside an iron gate, and was created from Judson and Anna's land with a need for cemetery space since the original Thornetown Cemetery was "full." The first burial was Dr. Gilbert Hetherington (1853-1925), with Dr. Judson Hetherington (1866-1928) tragically being the second in 1928. The land for the newer part of Codys Cemetery was donated by Virginia Hetherington in the 1980's and has allowed for more burial spaces. Photos: 1st photo: Hetherington, Mike.
