Mitchell County, NC - Unknown Cemetery, Relief

                    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

UNKNOWN CEMETERY, RELIEF

LOCATION: On the hill above Brummitts Creek Brethren Church, around the 
mountain from Relief. Park in the church parking lot. Climb a path that 
runs diagonally up the bank of the hill. At the ‘saddle’ of the hill you 
will see the abandoned Mary Whitson Cemetery on your right.  

Turn to your left and climb the ridge up through the pines. When you reach 
the top of the first hill, you will see that the ridge rises again. The 
cemetery is almost to the top of the second hill. There is nothing there 
but the stone, amid a bed of pine needles. It is very easy to miss it, but 
it is at the highest point of the ridge, measuring crosswise. There is also 
a dilapidated barbed wire fence running along the top of the ridge in places.				

ACCESSIBILITY: Very difficult! The climb to the grave is only for fit persons.

CONDITION: Abandoned.

1. Yellowish rectangular stone, with a simple cross etched on the face.  
No name or dates.

I wish to thank Omar McCourry for his assistance with this survey.  He was the 
first to notice the almost hidden stone.

[If anyone has information on this grave, please contact me.]
