Surveyed by Shirley Olson in February 2006 and updated March 4, 2006.

Directions - from Raleigh, take Hillsborough St. west to the intersection of Blue Ridge Rd., turn right onto Blue Ridge Rd. You will pass the Fairgrounds on your left, the Vet. School and Meredith College
on your right, cross over Hwy. 40, pass Rex Hospital on your right, and then directly in view is the old church with Duraleigh Rd. beginning on it's left and Blue Ridge Rd. curving to it's right. Stay on Duraleigh and pull into the driveway behind the church to park.

This area on the west side of Raleigh bustles with traffic, expensive new homes, shopping centers and office buildings. Nearby are Rex Hospital, NC State Fairgrounds, NC State Veterinary School, Meredith College, NC, Museum of Fine Arts, hotels, state offices, etc. On TopoZone the area is marked "Tysonville". It is hard to picture the small crossroads community that must have existed here once long ago. Behind an old red brick church building, that is noted on the local map as "Trinity Pent. Holiness", hidden from view, is this little cemetery.

Shirley Olson updated this cemetery to reflect that all burials have been relocated to other cemeteries nearby. All the Tyson burials were moved to the Tyson Family cemetery at 3705 Blue Ridge Road, Raleigh, NC. All other burials were moved to Raleigh Memorial Park at 7501 Glenwood Avenue, Raleigh, NC.
