To locate Bethany Baptist Church proceed south from Bishopville on Highway 15. Turn left onto the road leading to St. Charles. Go about four and a half miles. The church and cemetery are on the right.

The following details were copied from tombstones. Not all of the tombstones were transcribed. Names chosen were Wheeler, Scarborough, Josey and related family members. ( The information was gathered and recorded 17 July 1972 By Earnest and Barbara Scarborough. In hind sight, we wished we had copied all the stones. But we were young and in a hurry then. ES )
