Directions: From Interstate 40:  Exit on 401 S. and drive south about 3 miles to 
Tryon. Bear left on Hwy. 70 E and continue on 70 E about a mile to the traffic light 
at Timber Road. Turn right on Timber Road. Stay on Timber Road 5 or 6 miles until 
you reach the traffic light on Benson Hwy. (Rte. 50) and turn right. About 1-2 mile 
on the right you will pass New Bethel Church and cemetery and shortly after that 
there will be a second church on the right, Garner Church of God. The cemetery is 
not visible from the road.

In a grove of trees on a gentle slope above the intersection of Benson Hwy. and 
Buffalo Rd., obscured from view by cedar trees that enclose it, is this little 
cemetery with just 15 graves. The tombstones are the thin, fragile ones that tell 
you they are very old, and the in-ground markers are also weathered, but the 
cemetery is immaculate and lovingly cared for.
