LOCATION: Route 501 at Bethal Hill High School, Person County, NC

DESCRIPTION: July 5, 1939 . A red Clay negro cemetery. No attempts at lay out. The graves are in rows with narrow spaces between. This cemetery was a solid expanse of red clay washed by the rains. Even the grave stones are colored red by the red clay beaten against them by rain. On such markers as are cut there was misspelling such as ‘bon' for born, ‘die'such and such time', “twenty one ears”.
