Mt. Tabor Baptist Church and cemetery in Helena Station?

The husband of my gg-grand aunt, Tom Ball died on March 22, 1931, at the age of 90. His obituary noted his passing by remarking "that he was a respected colored man and one of the oldest residents of Maysville." (Maysville Public Ledger, March 23, 1931, pg.1). He, along with one of his dau, Mattie SMALL, are buried at the former Mt. Tabor Baptist Church in Helena Station in the family lot.

Does anyone know anyone else buried in that cemetery? I believe that the members of the church were of African-American descent. The site of the church is located near the old WELLS farm in Helena, Kentucky which is near Maysville and Mayslick, KY.
