Rocky Branch Baptist Church Cemetery
Rocky Branch
Allens Creek
Waynesville
Haywood County, NC

Rocky Branch Baptist Church is located at the end of Allens Creek Road. There is a sign at the turn off for the church. The cemetery is on the hill beside the church.
Rocky Branch Baptist Church was established in 1888 and the cemetery is at least that old. The middle part of the cemetery, from bottom to top, is apparently the oldest part of the cemetery. Most of the graves in this part are marked only by a cement brick which has been placed there in later years. These bricks have no form of identification on them, they merely mark the site of a grave.
In other parts of the cemetery, cement slabs have been hand-painted with the name or initials of the deceased. It would appear that every effort has been made to mark every gravesite and identify as many as possible.
This cemetery is well maintained and cared for. Decoration at Rocky Branch is the last Sunday of every August and I was there the day after Decoration. The cemetery was beautiful. Almost every grave was covered with flowers. This cemetery is still in use.
The oldest readable marker in this cemetery is the marker for Thomas, son of E. L. & P. Rhinehart, died October 25, 1898, aged 3 years.
