Lawn, SC and Chester, SC, just off Hwy 9. Surveyed May 15, 1999 by Kenneth and Jackie Rhodes, Lancaster, SC. Survey was begun nearest the church and rows were followed as best we could. Lots of spaces look like graves could be there; but no markers or stones, so we werenot be sure of exactly how many graves are in the cemetery. WHITE, Arthur, B. Mar 21, 196l, D.
