                               COLE CEMETERY

                           Rutherford County, NC

                               By W. D. Floyd

     This cemetery can be reached by going south on Highway US 221 out
     of Rutherfordton, NC until you get to Danieltown VFD, this will
     be about half mile south of where US 221 Truck and US 221 come
     together. At the Danieltown VFD turn to the west and go to the
     stopsign. At stop sign turn south and go until just before the
     pavement ends and the road turns to dirt and turn west on a dirt
     road called Dark Corner Road. Travel Dark Corner Rd. for 1.15
     miles and park at the old house place on the right. Look ahead
     and across the road and find the road going out through the trees
     with a cable across it. Walk down this old road until it splits,
     take the left fork and follow down the hill and up the steep hill
     and on over the top of the steep hill and find another cable
     across the road. Just keep going and following the oldest looking
     road and when it goes around the far end of the ridge you will
     find the cemetery on top of the little ridge. This is at least
     1.25 miles off the road so be prepared for a long walk. This was
     the longest walk for the least amount of info that I have
     recorded. For the people that are descendents of these Coles it
     is really worth the walk. If the road is dry and you can get the
     cables opened up you can drive a pickup all the way to the
     cemetery. I was there April 2, 1998.

     These readings were cut in on field stones and there were 10- 25
     other graves with fieldstones or unmarked.
