There will be a saw mill on your right and directly across the road from the saw mill is New Providence cemetery. The cemetery is located on one of the highest points in this area and overlooks many acres of timberland. There is a chain link fence around the cemetery and it is in pretty good condition. There are several unmarked graves , however, I took all the information from headstone inscriptions , temporary grave markers and some etchings in the concrete slabs. The cemetery is the property of New Providence Church and is maintained by church members and relatives of others buried there. I walked the cemetery on April 13th,2007.
