In 1961, the Hunters Chapel M. E. Zion Church Cemetery, which would have been flooded by the waters of Lake Norman, was relocated from its original location to the (new) Hunter’s Chapel Methodist Church Cemetery in Cornelius, NC. The cemetery included fourteen graves belonging to the families Connor, Givens, Johnson, Matthews, and Patterson, as well as twenty-one unmarked or unidentifiable graves. Both remains and gravestones were moved. Gravestones ranged in date from 1833 – 1865.
