Hemphill Section Haywood County, NC This cemetery was surveyed on August 9, 2001 by Rebecca Howell To reach this cemetery, take Joe Carver Road off of Hwy. 276 on Jonathan's Creek in Haywood County, NC. Take Joe Carver Road to Beantown Road on the left. Stay on Beantown Road until reaching the NC Baptist Association's Hispanic Mission on the right. Turn into the mission driveway and continue on the right to the top of the hill. The road from the mission to the cemetery is very rutted and rough. There is a small fenced cemetery on the left and the larger cemetery on the right. Originally both were part of the same cemetery, but since they have been separated, I am recording them as separate cemeteries. I am calling the small, fenced cemetery the Messer Cemetery at Shady Grove because it contains only Messer graves. The Allison Cemetery at Shady Grove contains the graves of many members of the Allison family who died during a typhoid epidemic when all members of the family were quarantined in their homes in the Shady Grove community. Later, some of the Allison graves were moved to a large, perpetual care cemetery. This cemetery has been well cared for and maintained. The majority of the graves are marked only by fieldstones or have no marker at all. Some are marked with funeral home markers which are no longer readable. No person is ever truly dead until the last person forgets to remember them.
