If you go to the link below, which is Find-A-Grave listing for this cemetery, you will notice a photo of an old frame church. This church had the traditional gender control doors (separate) and has actually been razed about 2014.
"Old Cedar Primitive Baptist Church, located west of the village of Stephens, was organized July 14, 1821, and Thomas Payne Stephens was its pastor from 1824 to 1865. It is one of three Primitive Baptist organized still maintained in the county, and among its member are grandchildren of Elder Stephens." ~ A History of Northeast Missouri, Volume 1, Walter Williams, 1913
