WELL'S SPRINGS UNITED METHODIST CEMETERY WELLS This cemetery is in the west end of Forest City, NC. Going west on main street ,toward Spindale, NC and after you pass the last traffic light you will need to look for a gravel street on the south side of Main St. It is just about across the streed from the Catholic Church. The cemetery is 200 yards or so off Main St. There is a sign at Main St. I done this inventory April 15, 1997 and I started in the southeast corner of the cemetery. There are so many unknown and unmarked graves that I am not going to list them. This is primarily an Afro-American cemetery. THE SURNAMES ABRAMS.
