It is about 7.1 miles from Wadesboro, North Carolina Take Highway 52 to the dirt road that goes up the hill to the Tyson-Wheless Cemetery. The dirt road is just before a bridge and that bridge is just before Cemetery Road (which goes to Bethlehem cemetery.)

This is a small family cemetery, which is south of the town of Ansonville and it dates back to about 1840.

This is a complete reading of all existing stones and markers in this cemetery which I read in 2004.
