Compiled by Bill Floyd (wdfloyd@rfci.net) Copyright, 1997 W.D. Floyd MT. PLEASANT C.M.E. CHURCH CEMETERY By W. D. Floyd To get to this cemetery go out the Hudlow Road toward Union Mills. Go through the flashing stoplight at the intersection with US64 and about three miles or just before you go into the community of Union Mills, NC. The cemetery is on the west side of the road. I was there October 6, 1997 and started the audit in the northeast corner of the cemetery. This is an African-American cemetery.
