said road, and adjoining Pete Kendrick's land.

Capernaum Baptist Church was established in 1843 according to Logan's
History, and stood near this cemetery. Now the church is located at
Waco, N.C. about two miles north of the cemetery. Though the church has
been removed to Waco, it is still used for a buying ground. There are
two sections in the cemetery-an old and a new. The old part is not so
well kept but the new division is in fine shape. There is an arbor here
and I understand an annual home-coming service is held at the cemetery.
