Mitchell County, NC - Whitson Cemetery ~~~~~~~~~~ MITCHELL COUNTY WHITSON CEMETERY - BRUMMITS CREEK LOCATION: About one mile from Tipton Hill, driving towards Relief, turn right into Miller Road. In a few yards you will see a red barn on your right. Drive a few yards past the barn and park at the base of a paved driveway on your left. Walk up the driveway to the first turn. You will see an electric fence on your left, and a gate of sorts in it. Cross this fence into the pasture and look at the hill opposite you; there is a very tall oak atop the hill and a metal gate. The cemetery is beneath this tree. You may either climb the hill directly to the top, or if you can see it, follow the faint road to the right to it. This road is through the grass and loops round right, then left and up. ACCESSIBILTY: Moderately easy, once you find it. CONDITION: Fair. Beautiful view. OLDEST DATED GRAVE: # 45, 1884.
