CENTENNIAL UNITED METHODIST CEMETERY CENTEN To get to this cemetery take US64 north of Rutherfordton about eight miles. As you go through the community of Westminister and go on north of Brittain Presbyterian Church to the next road toward the west and turn on it, Centennial Road or SR 1504, and go a mile and a half to two miles. The church and cemetery will be a little ways out a road to your left toward the Boy Scout Camp. I did the inventory April 14, 1997 and I started in the southeast corner of the cemetery. This is a pretty well kept cemetery. A few broken stones and a few unmarked and unknown.
