Rice Cemetery

This small family cemetery is off Cowan Mill Road just west of its intersection with Bright Star Road – back in the woods behind Cowan Mill Church. There are ten graves that are identifiable by name, four others that are the infants of one family, and six that cannot be identified except as to whether they are the graves of children or adults.
