Grave inventory and preservation recommendations for the Maple Grove United Methodist Church Cemetery, Haywood County, North Carolina. Volume 1

Abstract

In June 1997 the Church's Board of trustees retained Chicora Foundation to conduct a survey of the cemetery to identify and map all of the graves present. The research revealed 319 unmarked graves identified using a penetrometer and 471 graves which were marked by stones, monuments, or other markers. A plan of the cemetery was produced, with each monument or grave assigned a unique tracking number and marked using surveyors pin flags.
