Abstract
This study reports on a penetrometer survey of the Macedonia Baptist Church Cemetery in western Cherokee County, South Carolina. The church was organized in 1820, with the burial grounds beginning shortly thereafter. Today the cemetery encompasses about 1.6 acres. This study also contains recommendations to improve the care exercised during mowing, to cease the use of herbicides around stones, to more carefully oversee all grave excavations, to eliminate the discard of spoil at the edge of the cemetery, and to undertake critical conservation treatments of deteriorating stones.
