Round Hill Cemetery
Jonathan Creek
Haywood County, NC

Surveyed March 31, 2001 by Rebecca Howell and Ruby Howell Sutton


	To get to this cemetery, take Hwy. 276 down Jonathan's Creek toward I-
40 and Tennessee. Take Utah Mountain Road on the right and turn immediately 
left into the first driveway. Looking straight up, Round Hill Cemetery is at 
the very top of the hill.
	Before going to this cemetery, continue on Utah Mountain Road to Jim's 
Trim Shop on the right. Mr. Jim Howell at the Trim Shop owns the property 
around the cemetery and he will point out the best route to walk to the top of 
the hill.
	Originally this cemetery covered the entire top of Round Hill, but the 
majority of the graves were moved to Green Hill Cemetery in Waynesville, NC 
when I-40 was built. The remaining graves are all within the highway right-of-
way and will eventually also be moved.
	There are 14 graves with readable markers and quite a few others 
marked only with fieldstones.  There is also a highway right-of-way marker in 
the cemetery. It is fenced with no gates, so any visitors have to crawl over 
the fence. It is very heavily overgrown with brambles and briars which must be 
crawled through.
	In the spring, this cemetery is covered with thousands of daffodills, 
tulips, and yellowbells which have gone wild. The daffodills on Round Hill 
bloom about 2 weeks earlier than others in the area and last from 1 to 2 weeks 
longer. When these daffodills are dug up and transplanted to other areas, they 
bloom and die like all other daffodills, only on Round Hill do they display 
their tendancy to an extended blooming season.
	This cemetery is no lomger in use.

No person is ever truly dead until the last person forgets to remember them.
