Cemetery Roving part 2

Monday was beautiful, and Teresa and I did some hunting through local cemeteries.  See part 1 over at When I Was 69, my other blog.

To catch you up, we were looking for really old graves.  This is the second cemetery we visited.  Though it's listed as a cemetery, we've learned if it's attached to a church it can be called a graveyard.

Oak Grove (newer).  Mills Chapel Baptist Church is at the front and top of the hill, with plenty of parking.  There was a man with his little boy learning how to ride a bike on the parking lot, which wasn't exactly level...so more power to the kid!

The note above is inscribed in a ramp that leads into the grassy area off the parking lot...after going through a chain link gate.  I recognized the Mason insignia.

It's always nice to see a well tended cemetery.  But though it seemed big, we had another couple of big ones to come later.

I wondered if this Groce is related to my friend

We wondered if Charles Flack was related to Roberta.  I wondered if any blacks are in this cemetery.  I kind of doubt it.

My next post will be the older part of one of the big cemeteries, which is perhaps a combination of Black Mountain Cemetery and several named Mountain View Cemetery.  Tomorrow I'm posting back on When I Was 69.
