    3. Proximity Cemetery is listed in FAMILY BURYING GROUNDS AND ABANDONED CHURCH CEMETERIES IN GUILFORD COUNTY, NC,I have a copy of the book and will do look ups for you. The cemetery contains an estimated 2,000 graves, but due to poor condition only 125 graves have stones in a readable state. I was there a couple of years ago and it is overgrown, many sunken graves, broken stones everywhere. A very sad state.
