The cemetery apparently originated as the churchyard of the Bethany Cumberland Presbyterian Church at the intersection of Robinson and Church Sts., then expanded across the creek towards Rte. 121. Possibly it is a combination of 2 separate graveyards. It was once known as Bethany Cemetery. Sizable, active cemetery well maintained by on-site staff.
