GREENWOOD CEMETERY

Surveyed by Julia C. Smith and Ann H. Auburg
April 30, 1991

Greenwood cemetery is located just south of Greenwood Baptist Church at the junction of State Highway 307 (Cloverdale Road) and Farm Road 1379. The cemetery is divided into four unequal parts by a north-south road and by an east-west road. It is fenced and ell kept. A row of needle evergreens serve as a shelter along the south, east and west boundaries of the property. There are at least two known unmarked graves. A plat of the cemetery is on page 95.
