Difficult

Martha Bell’s grave at the coordinates is surrounded by a privately owned farm field and can only be reached between fall harvest and spring planting. The remains of Bell’s Mill existed into the 21^st Century, on Muddy Creek where it entered the Deep River. But it was flooded when the river was dammed to create Randleman Lake. Thus we consider the sites mostly “hidden.”

The cemetery is owned by a church, and can be driven to in winter, though getting to the grave requires walking over uneven and possibly muddy ground. Please respect the farm owners’ rights by not entering the field between plowing and harvest.
