Description
Headstone of Joseph Katz Barber (1902-1959), Ronald Joseph Barber (1925-1928), and Dixie Pharr Barber (1904-1998) at the Conway United Methodist Church Cemetery in 2003. Joseph Katz Barber served as Orange County Commissioner from 1937 to 1943 and also grew citrus and raised cattle in the Conway area. Buried with him is his son, Ronald, and his wife, Dixie, who began serving as the Supervisor of Registration for Orange County and received the Jaycee Good Government Award in 1962. <br /><br />Located at 3401 South Conway Road in Orlando, Florida, the Conway United Methodist Church (UMC) was formed in 1870 as the Prospect Methodist Episcopal Church, South (MECS). In 1874, Morgan Montgomery Mizell and his wife donated two acres of land to build a church for the congregation. One acre was designated for the cemetery and a log cabin-like structure was constructed on the other acre, which was located at the corner of Conway Road and Anderson Road. Reverend James D. McDonald was the first to lead the church. In 1881, a new wood-frame building was constructed and was used by the Prospect MECS until it was replaced by Callaway Hall in 1959. A new sanctuary was completed in 1973. The hall was remodeled in 1994 and currently serves as the administration building. The cemetery includes graves of several members of the English Colony, which was platted in 1892 as the East Conway Churchyard Cemetery.
