This cemetery is made up of a few small family cemeteries. It seems as if this small area was set aside for burials of the local residents around 100 + yrs ago. Records show it being called "Mays Cemetery" during the 1920s and 1930s. Sometime in the 1940s it was called "Spradling Cemetery." From my brief survey of the area, it seems as if there are at least three separate cemeteries that at one time had been fenced. As of 2009, the area has become badly overgrown with only one fence still standing. Most of the markers can no longer be found. Many of the graves have only a metal funeral marker (most are rusted/buried) and some have only rocks as markers. This cemetery does not have easy access and can only be accessed on foot. It is on the hill side behind the Bethany Baptist Church at 1521 Greenbrier St., 25311. It can be found by walking up the hill off of the front street side parking lot of the church. There is no longer any access to the top by vehicle.
