--GOLDEN VALLEY METHODIST CEMETERY-- Compiled and published by Mr. and Mrs. Judson Crow, Sr. This compilation of data from the grave markers at the Golden Valley Methodist Cemetery in Rutherford County, North Carolina provides an insight into the lives and times of the people that settled and developed the Golden Valley section of the First Broad River. The information covers the period from the earliest recorded burials in 1858 to the burials in 1998. Birth and death dates are transcribed from the grave markers and the days of the week for those dates have been calculated and included in this compilation. A statistical summary yields a condensed view of the data. Charts for the total births and deaths plotted against time characterize the life spans of the buried people. Noted events, such as the conspicuous absence of burials immediately following the War Between the States, should challenge the historian and family researcher to seek solutions to the enigmas of the arduous times of the Reconstruction period. All the proceeds from the sale of this information will be used for the maintenance of the Golden Valley Methodist Cemetery. --PRICE: $10.00 (+ $3.00 S&H) Books can be purchased from: Mr. Tom Melton-3550 NC Highway 226- Bostic, NC 28018 - 828-245-0853
