Weast Cemetery - Rutherford County, NC - Cemeteries File submitted for use in the USGenWeb Archives by: W. D. Floyd WEAST CEMETERY Rutherford County, NC By W. D. Floyd This cemetery is located south of Cane Creek Mountain Road. Take Highway NC 226 west of the "Good Ole Boys" service station and restaurant for about two miles and find Cane Creek Mtn. Rd. going off to the south. Follow it till you come to a little church on the south side of the road. It will be the Golden Church of the Brethren. Turn around at church and come a couple hundred feet back down the road and you will see a pasture on the south side. There will be an old chimney standing and a lake in the valley. The lake will be filled or drained according to whether winter or summer. Just follow the road around the upper end of the lake and up the hill. It takes you just a little short of the cemetery. I was there January 19, 1999. There are 20-40 graves marked only with fieldstones. Some of them had markings on them but they were unreadable. Smawley, J.
