Mount Olive Cemetery
Graham County

Directions: From the U.S. Hwy 24 and St Hwy 18 intersection at Bogue, go North on 360 Avenue for 1 mile. At S Road, turn West and drive almost a mile. The cemetery is on the South side of the road. Watch for a light pole and a few trees as it is easy to drive past the cemetery.
