Dellwood Cemetery
Gentian Way
Dellwood
Haywood County, NC

To get to Dellwood Cemetery, coming from Lake Junaluska, take Hwy. 276 towards Jonathan's Creek. Before reaching the Jonathan's Creek intersection, take Gentian Way on the right. This road is very rough and very, very steep. Drive around the circle to the back of the cemetery. There are steps from the road into the cemetery at several points.

This is a very old cemetery which has been very well cared for. There are many, many graves marked only by fieldstones and many where all markers have completely disappeared. Be careful when walking across sunken places.

In this cemetery, also, there appears to be an inordinate amount of infant graves.

This cemetery is still in use.
