Wake County, NC - Pleasant Grove Methodist Church Cemetery Pleasant Grove Methodist Church 4415 Pleasant Grove Church Rd. Raleigh, House Creek TWP, Wake Co., NC 27613 March 12, 2008 N 35° 52° 00° Lat W 78° 42° 30° Long Dir: From Hwy. # 70 and Millbrook Rd. (SR 1822), Raleigh. Take Millbrook Rd. (only goes north east) about .6 mile to a left turn on to Pleasant Grove Church Rd. and go about .3 mile to the church and cemetery on the left. There is a large parking lot behind the church. The cemetery is directly behind the parking area. The cemetery and church are on 2 acres. There is room for more burials. The cemetery is well kept and somewhat unusual in that it has a "white section" and to the right of that a "black section", a relic of the past where "Blacks, free, or slave" were buried. It, too, is meticulously neat and cared for, through the work of a Boy Scout Troop. Unfortunately there are no names on the graves in the black section so all names listed below are from the "white" section.
