| This cemetery is located on Coleman Mountain Road in Haywood County,
NC. To reach this cemetery, take Hwy. 276 down Jonathan's Creek towards I-40 and Tennessee. Take a left onto Coleman Mountain Road. The cemetery is on the right on top of a small hill and must be watched very carefully for. This cemetery is fenced and is quite overgrown with weeds and briars, but no woody growth. Along the fence are huge slabs of wood with barrel tops nailed to them presumably as seats at funeral services and Decoration ceremonies. The back portion of this fairly large cemetery appears to be unused, or is so old that all traces of the graves have vanished. This cemetery appears to be a very, very old cemetery and not used very much in recent years. There is no gate into the pasture which surrounds the cemetery, so the fence must be crawled through or over. All visitors should be careful to refasten the gate which opens into the cemetery securely. There are several deep sunken places in this cemetery, so all visitors should be careful of falling. This cemetery contains approximately 25-30 graves marked only with fieldstones or unreadable stones and funeral home markers. |
