The Turnersville Community Cemetery Association will be having a special meeting on Thursday, Feb. 9 starting at 6 p.m. The topic of the meeting will be the Turnersville Tabernacle. The meeting will take place at the Turnersville Community Center and will be open to the public.
The Turnersville Cemetery serves residents of the rural community of Turnersville (originally Buchanan Springs). Those interred at the cemetery include many past residents, with ranchers, farmers, merchants, physicians, teachers, ministers, and military veterans among them. A cemetery association formed by 1900 but disbanded in the 1930s. The Turnersville Cemetery Association reorganized in 1953 and continues to care for the burial ground. Today, the cemetery is one of the few remaining vestiges of the Turnersville community.
The community center is located at 8115 FM 182 in Turnersville.
