Surveyed by Shirley Olson in August 17, 2005.

There is a place to park and a flight of stairs constructed of railroad ties lead up a hillside to the cemetery. The cemetery is in good condition and very secluded. The church that formerly stood in front of the cemetery (the parking area) is completely gone. The cemetery is no longer in use. Wake County records show the owner as Apex ME Church Cemetery, and the area as .33 acres.
