Wadsworth Baptist Cemetery is in the community of Wadsworth, owned and maintained by the Wadsworth Baptist church. The cemetery appears to have begun in the 1890s, judging from the existing headstones. It is still being used at the present time. To reach the cemetery from Deatsville, travel northwest on CR 143 about 6 miles until you reach County Road 68. Turn right and the cemetery will be on the right side of the road. Wadsworth Baptist Cemetery is located near the church, next to the Marbury Volunteer Fire Department.
