Cemeteries of Mecklenburg County

This cemetery may be also known as the Youngblood Cemetery, because the Youngblood family bought the property from the Mason family. There are also many Partlows buried in the cemetery. There appear to be some unmarked graves. It has a wire and stone fence around it. It was once at the top of rich farmland but is now at the edge of Lake Wylie. See also Youngblood Cemetery. This is at the end of the right fork of Youngblood Rd. N. as it deadends at Lake Wylie.

This is not a complete list of burials. The cemetery is on the side of the church and is visible from the road.

Some people buried here are descendants of Lizzie McCoy, who helped raise Albert McCoy's children. Other families that lived in the area after the Civil War are also buried here. This cemetery is in a wooded area and is on private property. It cannot be seen from the road and is not easy to locate. The cemetery is located to the left of the dirt driveway off McCoy Rd.

This cemetery was for the residents of the Mecklenburg County County Home, which was originally located nearby. Residents who could not provide for themselves became the responsibility of Mecklenburg Co. On January 3, 1939, a decision was made to place markers on the graves, using money from the Poor Fund Emergency Fund. Each marker was to be 8 inches wide, 2 inches thick, and from 20 to 22 inches high. The gravestones are all facing W. T. Harris Blvd. Because this cemetery was used before desegregation, there is a separation of graves. The earliest known burial was 1930.
