Thrift Baptist Church and Cemetery

According to the church secretary, it dates back to the 1930s or possibly before, but Nancy Spaine from the United Methodist Archives in Charlotte said a Methodist church previously owned the cemetery and sold it to Thrift Baptist Church. There appear to be some unmarked graves. According to the minister of the church in 2007, the cemetery was also known as Kendall Mills in the 1950s.  The cemetery is visible from the street.
