Latitude N 34 37.146 x Longitude W 82 59.497 CHURCH/CEMETERY HISTORY: ------------------------ The church at one time, consisted of 3 single-wide trailers. Two of them were joined together for sanctuary usage, and the other was for Sunday school classes. When the church was dissolved, someone moved into the trailers to live. Later in time, the trailers were burned down and the land reverted back to the original owners. Elvis King and his mother then put a single-wide trailer on the lot and they currently live there now. Only two graves are located on this site and both interments are kinfolk of Elvis King and his mother. The long term plan is to turn this cemetery into a private one and relocate the trailer to another location.
