Directions:
The Peeler Cemetery is located south of Gaffney, South Carolina on
Peeler Creek Road . Take S.C. 18 South out of Gaffney. Continue going
down S.C.18 until you come to S.C.105; take a left on S.C.105. You will
continue down S.C.105 to Peeler Creek Road. Take a right on Peeler Creek
Road (it's the only direction you can turn off S.C.105). Go down Peeler
Creek Road until you come to where the Peeler Creek Road starts to go
over a hill. Before you go over the hill look to your right and you will
see an old house sitting off the road at the bottom of the hill. Turn
right into the driveway leading up to the house. You will find
the driveway going down to the house is very steep. Head down the
driveway & you will see a gate in front of you that leads into a
pasture. We had to climb over the gate to get into the pasture. When
going into the pasture look at the end of the old road and you will see
another gate. Walk towards that gate at the end of the road, as you
get closer you will see another gate to the left of the gate you are
walking towards. You will need to go through the old gate on the left.
The Peeler Cemetery is going to be back in the trees on your left. After
going through the gate walk to your left around the tree line looking to
your left. Sitting back in the trees you will see a few old headstones
sticking up. This is the old Peeler Cemetery. If you need more help
please feel free to call Jim Stacey at (979)
