MITCHELL COUNTY, NC - CEMETERIES - Old Garland Cemetery --------------¤¤¤¤¤¤-------------- LOCATION: At Red Hill, take the road to Tipton Hill. The cemetery is a couple of tenths of a mile farther, on your right. CONDITION: Excellent. There is a large completely bare (grassed over) area in the center of the cemetery.
