Church of the Atonement Cemetery

From the intersection of Frank Tippett Road and Highway 301, turn east onto dirt road and go across the railroad tracks. The south part or newer part is right there and the older part is about 25 yards north along a path.

The cemetery once belonged to the Church of the Atonement which belonged to the Episcopal Church. The church was torn down in the early 1940's but the cemetery was still in use.

Today, the cemetery is divided into two sections. The south section or the new section is being taken care of. Somebody mows the grass and trims the area. The north part or the older part is not being care for. There is a lot of trash in there with a bunch of new wild trees, A few of the headstones are down. There are also a few people that are buried in there with unmarked graves.

I visited this one on Mar 13 and 26 2004, with a final visit on Nov 15 2004. I compared my findings with "Stones and Bones", pub. 1984.
