Abstract
The study examines the Episcopal Church of the Advent Cemetery in Spartanburg, South Carolina at the request of the Church Archives Committee. The history of the cemetery is not as well-known as might be imagined. Construction on the church was begun in 1850, although the first burial occurred about 1849. The current church was consecrated in 1864, but has been expanded on numerous occasions. It is likely that at least some of the expansions have covered graves.
