Linwood Cemetery sits behind Linwood Baptist Church.  The community is north of the Neshoba Community on the road that was once the main highway to Philadelphia, before the new Highway 15 bypass was built.  Many of the families buried in Linwood Cemetery are closely related to those families buried at Neshoba Cemetery.  Sitting directly across the road from the church and cemetery is a store, which has been the focal point of the Linwood Community for as long as I have been living.  Linwood School, which stood near the church is now only a memory.
