Services for both were conducted at the Hudson Church of God and Pendry's funeral home was the funeral home. Hudson Church of God has a website (http://www.hudsoncog.com/) with an email for the pastor. Don't know if you'd want to email him and see if he knew where the cemetery was located or had contact information for it. Pendry's funeral home might be another option.

You are probably looking for the one in Haywood County. <a href="http://files.usgwarchives.net/nc/haywood/cemeteries/mapgrv01.txt" rel="nofollow">http://files.usgwarchives.net/nc/haywood/cemeteries/mapgrv01.txt</a> Or <a href="http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=csr&CScn=Maple+Grove&CScntry=4&CSst=29&CScnty=0" rel="nofollow">http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=csr&CScn=Maple+Grove&CScntry=4&CSst=29&CScnty=0</a> If you click on the # of interments, you can see the names that people have added. Another option (if you are looking for a certain person), you can go to <a href="http://cemeterycensus.com/nc/" rel="nofollow">http://cemeterycensus.com/nc/</a> and type in the name in the search box. You do have to put quotation marks around the name. If it is only a last name (e.g. Doe), then enter: "Doe, *" The wildcard * will pull all the entries with that last name. Hope this helps.

Unknown if Caldwell or Watuga County. FLANATIVE on "Surname "RICH"" http://forums.northcarolinagenealogy.net/topic/surname-rich#post-222 Fri, 12 Feb 2010 08:59:44 +0000 FLANATIVE 222@http://forums.northcarolinagenealogy.net/ I am conducting a family tree/genealogy research and find that a large number of my direct ancestors migrated to, lived, married and died in Caldwell and Watuga County from the very early 1800's and in fact many still reside in Caldwell county and general vicinity. I am inquiring if you have any documents and/or any photographs on the surname "RICH" and/or how to possibly locate any family history on my ancestors both living and deceased in the area. I note there is a Rich family Cemetery in the county; however, there are no records I can find on any burials in this cemetery. Anyone having any history on the "RICH" family, and are there any other organizations or individuals who I might contact for assistance? I thank you in advance for any guidance you have. Sincerely; Donald E. Rich
