THE BRIZENDIN-FORD CEMETERY, Cleveland County, North Carolina THE BRIZENDIN-FORD CEMETERY By W. D. Floyd To get to this small cemetery from the river bridge in Lawndale, NC on highway NC182, go west by the mill to where there is a road that turns left and goes south along the side of the mill. Follow this road for about half a mile to the top of the hill and find the Rube Spangler Road on the left. Go esat on the Rube Spangler Rd. to the fourth house on the left. the cemetery is behind the house in the woods. I was there September 8, 1997. This is a very neglected cemetery as most of the markers are down or broken. There were at least three markers that I couldn’t read and the area is pretty overgrown. It is sad but this one is going away. This is the way that I read the markers. Some were bad and I could have read them incorrectly. If anyone has an old better reading on them, I would appreciate the corrections. This reading has been updated from prior readings of the cemetery since there was such a small amount that could be read when I was there. The updated reading was donated by Charlie Jones and we thank him very much for it.
