Oak Hill United Methodist Church Cemetery

Oak Hill United Methodist Church Cemetery

documented by Sandy Roberts

Since I was in Morganton anyway, I stopped at this church on my way out of town and managed to document about a third of headstones before I gave out. I intend to finish this one on a future trip. The following was transcribed from headstones. When I am able to obtain the church records to cross reference, I will post any corrections necessary.

As with all things posted on my pages, these entries are as accurate as possible but there is no guarantee that I have translated difficult to read headstones correctly. If you find inaccurate listings for which you have documentation for the correct data, please contact me so that I can make the corrections available to others.

All listings are alphabetically listed by last name for convenience in searching, however, they are typed as listed on the headstone first, then last name followed by birth and death dates. I have included other information from the headstones which helps define family connections etc....
