Hartsell, Jr. NOTE: The above was scanned from a copy found at the public library in Albemarle, NC. I don't know when this record was made. I was led to this cemetery August 2, 1986 by a gentleman who was mowing and cleaning the grounds of the Mineral Springs Baptist Church and Cemetery. He stated that the above cemetery was the original Mineral Springs Baptist Church Cemetery before the Church was relocated. He also stated that an old Austin house near the cemetery had been destroyed by fire. Many of the grave markers were not legible during my visit and the cemetery was in need of care. County road #1103 is also known as Rocky River Road. Wm. Richard Crotwell ___________________________________________________________________ Copyright.
