Cemeteries of Mecklenburg County

This cemetery may have been called Roseville at one time. It may also have some unmarked graves. A long time resident and local historian of Matthews thinks this may have been the cemetery for an African American church that was near Charles St. in Matthews. This cemetery is in a heavily wooded area and is between Monroe and a subdivision. It is across the street from the Family Dollar Co.

This cemetery site is on a hilltop just inside Mecklenburg County, near the intersection of the county line and Brief Rd. There are no stones with the name Little on them. Only two stones with members of the Love family are still visible. The upper photo shows the fallen rock wall at the cemetery.

This cemetery originally belonged to the Stillwell Grove Methodist Protestant Church. According to a survey, some logs from the church were still visible in 1913.  This is in the woods across the street from the Mount Harmony Baptist Church.
