Meadow Branch Baptist Church Cemetery

On Highway 74 East in the Town of Wingate at the entrance to Wingate University

Monroe Township, Union County, North Carolina

Copied October 30, 1984 by Otha and Frances Small

From the cemetery files of Ann Medlin Price

There are many stones that are broken or missing due to vandalism over the years.

Names in bold letters are the ones we did not find.  The cemetery is in desperate need of 

being cleaned up and repaired in case anyone knows of a scout group or other civic

group that can help (as of May 2008)
