Compiled by Bill Floyd (wdfloyd@rfci.net) Copyright, 1997 W.D. Floyd JERUSALEM BAPTIST CEMETERY By W. D. Floyd To get to this cemetery from the SC state line go north on highway US221 about a mile and a half or mabe two miles after you cross the Broad River bridge until you come to a road that bears off at an angle on the right. This is the Chase High School road. After you have made the turn go to the first road to the left and the cemetery will be on the left about a half mile. This is an African-American cemetery and I was there August 27, 1997 and I started the audit in the southeast corner of the cemetery.
