Silver Creek Baptist Cemetery - Burke County, NC - Cemteries Submitted to the USGenWeb Archives by W. D. Floyd wdfloyd@rfci.net SILVER CREEK BAPTIST CEMETERY BURKE COUNTY, NC By W. D. Floyd This cemetery is located west of Highway US 64 by about about a half mile on a dead end dirt road. As you travel between the Rutherford County line and Morganton, NC you will find a stretch of US 64 that is about a mile long and nice and straight and it lies between two hills. As you start up the southern hill you will see a dirt road off to the west and along side of the highway for a little ways. This is the road to Silver Creek Baptist. There is a sign at the highway where the dirt road pulls off. There are many, many unmarked graves in this cemetery and some marked with field stones. There was quite a few that was difficult to try to read so it is possible to have some errors since I am only human. I was at this cemetery December 1, 1997 and I started the audit at the bottom of the hill or the lower end of the cemetery.
