Some local residents refer to this cemetery as the "Old Switzer Cemetery."
I could not verify this. The cemetery sits on a small knoll at the
junction of Hwy. 221 and Old Switzer Road. It is across Old Switzer Road
from the Switzer First Baptist Church cemetery.
Directions: Take I-26 to Spartanburg, SC. Get off the Interstate at
exit 28 and turn toward Woodruff (or Moore) on US221-South. 3.7 miles
from the interstate (just after the large water tower on the right) you
will see
Switzer First Baptist Church on your right. Turn left onto Old Switzer
Road.
The cemetery and asphalt entrance road is on the left immediately AS
you turn (i.e. AT the intersection).
