Pine Chapel Church 


This cemetery is an African American Cemetery I believe it was established about 1900. 
There is a church standing there today it does not appear to be as old as the cemetery. 

This church  is located on Harden road. If you come from Zebulon Jackson street which changes 
to New Hope road go to New Hope Church and turn right, The church is about ¾  mile down on the left side.

There are many unmarked burials to the left of the church building.

I would like to have more information on this Church. If you have information or corrections 
please contact the site coordinator or Larry Childs.

About 28 marked with stones other sunken unmarked noticeable, Several. 

Henderson Clemons born North Carolina is the earliest burial I could find marked. 
The next being 66 years later. Looking through Ancestry records it appears that most of the 
burials in this cemetery are related. This may have been a family plot originally.
