107    HARRELL-LEWIS FAMILY CEMETERY

Location: 801 block of Turner Mountain Rd, Mt. Airy, Surry Co., NC.

Coordinates: 36d 24m 51.8s N; 80d 39m 41.7s W Click here for Google maps

Directions: From intersection of US Hwy 52 and 601 in Mt. Airy, go south on US Hwy 601 (Rockford St) for 1.35 miles and turn left on Old US Hwy 601. Then go 3.2 miles and turn left on Fireside Lane. Then go .3 mile on Fireside Lane and turn right on Turner Mtn Rd and go 1.5 miles to a dirt road on the right that leads partway up the mountain. As of May 2006, one would need a high frame, four wheel drive vehicle to go this rough road. Otherwise walk up to the end of the road and then walk about 250' through thick sapling and brier growth to the right to get to the cemetery. It is doubtful one would find it without a GPS unit or local guide.
