Surveyed by Shirley Olson in February 20, 2002.

Directions - from Raleigh: Go east on the Raleigh Beltline (440), take Exit # 13, ( Hwy. 64 E), go approx. one mile. The church and cemetery are on the left side of the divided highway at a traffic light at the intersection of New Bern Ave. (Hwy. 64 E) and Hedingham Pkwy. Parking is available along side of the church.

The cemetery is in very poor condition. There are many, many graves unmarked or with unreadable temporary markers that have been obliterated by time and weather. It is not landscaped, slopes sharply, and has an accumulation of various litter. The cemetery belongs to the church and there appears to be room for more burials. Those seeking family members may find some help at the funeral homes noted below.

There is probably an equal number of graves that are not marked.
