Cemeteries: Alphabetized List
Cemeteries by Township
© 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005 D&C Research Group
Surveyed February 16, 2002
Directions: From the Post Office in Otto, NC, go 2.6 miles north on Hwy. 441. Take a left onto Coweeta Church Road. Go 6/10 of a mile, then turn right onto Bell Road. The cemetery is on the right a few feet down the road.
Notes: Some of the tombstones were so eroded that they were difficult to read. Where needed, I have included notes from the old WPA survey that was done in 1940 by Horace J. Hurst to help clarify the dates.
