There is an Ellis Cemetery on the same road as Beulah Methodist Church Cemetery. (The church closed around 1930.) However, this site is not it. I checked all the death certificates for post-1915 marked graves here. Most of them call the cemetery Beulah Church or some variant thereof. None uses the name "Ellis Cemetery." The same is true of the obituaries which give places of burial and a plat of this tract of land recorded in the Cherokee County, SC Clerk of Court (and recorder of deeds and plats) does the same. The dimensions of the plat correspond closely with the two deeds for the Beulah Methodist church property in the 1870s. Also, the Cherokee County Cemetery map shows the Ellis Cemetery and Beulah Cemetery as two different locations. As this work is still under copyright, I cannot post it on Find a Grave. Given the agreement of all these sources, I can only conclude that this site is indeed the Beulah Methodist Church Cemetery. To add to the confusion and make matters worse the Ellis Cemetery listing contains graves with marker photographs which are definitely not at Beulah. I can only infer that they ARE at the Ellis cemetery.
