Oak Grove Presbyterian Church Cemetery (sometimes known as Bailey Cemetery or Sellers Cemetery) is a small cemetery enclosed by a chain-link fence on the west side of Green Springs Highway south of Oxmoor Road in Homewood, between the Paw Paw Patch restaurant and Aldi, and behind the former long-time location of Lovoy's Italian Restaurant.
The cemetery was originally associated with Oak Grove Cumberland Presbyterian Church, which was at the northwest corner of Oxmoor and Columbiana Roads before it merged with Rosedale Cumberland Presbyterian Church to form Edgewood Presbyterian Church in 1912.
Many of the church's early members, including members of the Bailey, Morris and Sellers families, are buried in the cemetery. The earliest markers date to the late 1880s and the most recent burial is from 1979.
