CLEVELAND COUNTY, NC - CEMETERIES - Old Clover Hill Church Cemetery

The Old Clover Hill Church Cemetery, Grady McNeilly Rd., Casar, Cleveland Co., NC

By Dennis Morgan

A church was never built at this cemetery. A lean-to was the only structure
built there.As I was told, Grady McNeilly Road dead-ended at the cemetery.
There are approximately thirty graves there. Of those thirty, seven had stones
but only 5 could be read.The rest were marked by field rocks.This cemetery is
in bad condition. Cows have grazed on it in years past and knocked over the
stones and broke them. Now large trees grow among the graves.To get to this
cemetery take Highway 226 North from Shelby. After you go through the traffic
light in Polkville bear right into Highway 10.Travel about five miles and you
will reach the Casar town limits. Just inside the town limits turn right on
School House Road.Travel about a mile and turn right on Grady McNeilly Road.
Travel about another half mile and stop at the first house on the left.The
Edwin Lee family lives there. The cemetery is not on their land but you need
permission to cross it. Ed will show you where the cemetery is. I was there on
Feb. 26, 1998
