Bethlehem Methodist Cemetery, Polk County, North Carolina BETHLEHEM METHODIST CEMETERY MILL SPRGS., POLK COUNTY, NC By W. D. Floyd This cemetery is located in the community of Mill Springs, NC. Mill Springs is where Highway NC9 and Highway NC108 intersect. There is a short road that goes from the east section NC108 around behind the old school and Post Office to the north section of NC9. The cemetery is located on this short road. I was there November 14, 1997 and I started the audit in southwest corner of the cemetery. This church was founded in 1771 but I didn’t find any graves that old so there must be another location.
