Bethel Cemetery
Budds Creek, Saint Mary County, Maryland

Lat: 38° 24' 19"N, Lon: 76° 49' 21"W

Contributed by Anne Braun, Oct 27, 2004 [annieb1961@comcast.net]. Total records = 93.

In Budds Creek, from the intersection of Highways 236 and 234, go north on Highway 236 for .5 miles until you reach Bethel Church Road. Turn there and go east for .1 miles. The cemetery is on the south side of the road.

An old church cemetery. The cemetery did belong at one time to the Bethel Church which disbanded in the mid 1940's. The cemetery at one time had a brick wall around it but the brick wall was vandalized. The first burials occured in the 1820's and 1830's with the last in the 1980's.

It is a well kept cemetery. There are 2 broken headstones and about 6-8 places where the ground sunk in. This is where people are butied at with nothing to mark their graves.

I walked this cemetery on Oct 26-27, 2004. To my knowledge the cemetery reading is complete.
