 The cemetery is located near the Palmer Chapel Methodist Church on the opposite side of Cataloochee Entrance Road in Cataloochee, NC. There is a sign pointing the way.

There are many Caldwells buried here, in fact Levi Caldwell would seem to be buried twice. The surname Caldwell was often spelled Colwell years ago and eventually became Caldwell. Here we find Levi Belese Caldwell and Levi Belese Colwell with the exact same dates.

There's also a lot of Confederate graves here which have been adorned with Confederate Flags.One of which was Warren Lockman who served as a Private Company H in the 25th North Carolina Infantry. Oddly, there was another Warren Lockman also from North Carolina that fought on the Union side. He was a Private Company E in the 3rd North Carolina Mounted Infantry.
