Oak Forest United Methodist Church Cemetery - Clay County, North Carolina (209 Names) Oak Forest United Methodist Church Cemetery is located east of Hayesville off of U. S. Hwy 64. Turn right on Oak Forest Road. The church and cemetery are located at the intersection of State Route 1148 and Oak Forest Road. In 1891, those members of the Hayesville Methodist Church who lived east of the Hiawassee River felt the need to build a house of worship for their own community. Land was donated by J. A. Penland and under the leadership of the Pastor, Rev. D. H. Comen, work on the building was begun. Only six men and their families represented the original organization; J. M. Coleman, A. J. Coleman, F. L. Padgett, J. S. Carter, George W. Moore and J. A. Penland. This number made it difficult to raise money to complete the task which they had undertaken. However, the needed money was raised by the members, with the help of their Baptist friends and others. The construction was done by the men of the community even to the extent of going into the forest to hew the timbers and make the shingles for the roof. The women of the church named it "Oak Forest" as it was located in an oak grove. This survey was performed by Mrs. Dorothy Shepherd.
