Also known as Bethel United Methodist Cemetery.

 

GENERAL CONDITION:  This is a rather large cemetery with probably close to 1000 stones.  It is very well maintained and still an active cemetery as there are signs of recent burials.  Since it is still active, there have probably been lots of burials since the 1957 and 1997 readings.  The cemetery was established in 1832.  Most of the older stones are in the eastern part of the cemetery.  Some broken and/or illegible stones exist, but most of the stones are marble and in excellent condition.

 

SHAARD# CR-49-67.
