To anyone interested in the Swanwick Cemeteries. At one time, well over 70 years ago, there was a Swanwick Baptist Church. However there was no cemetery associated with it. This church was located approx. 4 miles straight north of Winkle. I just talked with the son of a man who helped move this church to Winkle where there was an addition added to it. It is still there and is now an apartment building. The new Baptist church, known as Winkle Baptist is located a mile or so east of Winkle on Rt. 13. Yesterday I drove to where this church was years ago. There is nothing there. The Ragland and the Boyle cemetery is about 1 1/4 mi. from my house. My paternal family and mother are buried at the Bethel Cemetery. The Bethel Associate Presbyterian Church was built on about 6 acres of land in 1850. On this '6' acres was an area for the church with a fenced yard, because livestock roamed freely at that time; a grove in which to tie horses and rigs; a stile somewhere on the church yard for easier mounting and dismounting from either horseback or horse drawn vehicles; and a country church burying ground. This was later called the Bethel Cemetery, as it is today. Some of this information can be found in the Combined History of Randolph, Monroe and Perry Counties, c 1883. The first grave known in Bethel is that of Jane Dermond - [email protected]
