Adaton Methodist Cemetery Take Highway 182 West from Starkville, six miles, turn right onto Oktibbeha County Lake Road , take first right, cemetery and church are less than an eighth of a mile down this road the cemetery and church are on the left. Visited and walked this cemetery November 8th 2002. Adaton United Methodist Church was organized in August 1878, and was known then as Steele's Chapel in honor of Mr. Robert Steele and his mother, Mrs. Charlotte Steele,who gave the land for the church and cemetery. The first services were held in an old "cook house" near the site of the present location, by a Rev. Miller. In 1880 the first church was built. This church was used until a larger one was built in 1909 at the same location and served until the present brick building was erected in 1963.
