As far as I know the Sprouse Cemetery is still guarded by bad dogs. The owners of the adjoining property did not like people walking to the cemetery. You have to follow an old road bed across the neighbors yard. The cemetery is on the right side of the old road just before you get to a big overgrown field. If you go, be careful! Page Lee
If you go, take some pepper spray ----- Original Message ----- From: "Page Lee" <apil@mindspring.com> To: <gc-gateway@rootsweb.com>; <scsparta@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, December 19, 2007 6:07 PM Subject: Re: [SCSPARTA] Sprouse Cemetery in Spartanburg > As far as I know the Sprouse Cemetery is still guarded by bad dogs.

Hi: I am posting this message on behalf of Jason Lands who is not a member of the mailing list but posted a query on the bulletin board about the Sprouse Cemetery. I am also copying Jason on this message. Jason replies to everyone who responded to his query: Thank you for the information. I believe the cemetery holds Teresa Sprouse my gg-grandmother, she married a Richard Lands who died in the Civil War, I believe they had a son who died young maybe 6yrs old and is buried in the cemetery his name is Richard Lands also, but I'm looking to see if there are any other Lands names buried in that cemetery. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
