Cemetery notes and/or description: The cemetery on the bank of the Catawba River is the Babel Sherrill cemetery. Rocky Mount cemetery is further down stream from the Babel Sherrill cemetery, and is entirely a different cemetery. I read both of these cemeteries about 20 years ago. Although they are both in Caldwell County, NC, we published the listings in our Catawba County Cemeteries series of Books published by the Catawba County Genealogical Society.
