Floyd ==================================================================== OLD McADENVILLE CEMETERY Gaston County, NC By John Helms For the past 6 years I have been the caretaker of the Old McAdenville Cemetery. I cut down trees fill in graves mow the grass and make the monuments. This job is very inportant to me I don't get paid or any thing for it and even spend my own money on it but I wouldn't trade my job for anything .When I found the cemetery you couldn't see it. It was very overgrown with trees and muskadine vines and after 6 years it really looks good. A lot of the graves are marked with pipes rocks and concrete blocks. We have aproximatly 45 to 50 head stones . Through research I found out that this land was given land for towns people who had no money and to others who wanted to be burried there. In 1960 when I-85 came through the cemetery was cut off until 1975 when Mr. Bill Phar had the road cut in again so that Paul Stafford coud be burried there . The road fell into disrepair again until 1994 when I found it We cleared the road and began the repair's . Through research of Death Certificates and family meetings this is a list of those buried there. Cemetery Location. I-85 to Main St McAdenville Main St changes to Hickory Grove Rd. Cross the River the next Bridge crosses I-85 again take left on Cemetery Rd go to Duke Power Gate open and follow gravel road to Cemetery.
