Green Pond is located on Chicken Foot road in the Reidville area of Spartanburg County. Take Hwy 101 South from Greer toward Woodruff. Turn left on Hwy 417. Turn right on Lot Switzer Road. At stopsign turn right again, then take bear off to left. You will see the church ahead on your left. The cemetery is on both sides of the road - old story being that some didn't want to be buried on the church side as slaves were also buried there. I began this transcription on November 22, 1998 on the side of the church next to the road working toward the woods.
Click here to see my Cemetery Rating: 
This cemetery is in sorry shape - stones broken, missing, turned, bushes growing over stones; and I know many of the field rock stones have been removed from the many times that I have been there. I also have noticed that markers in good shape are disappearing from the different visits I make.
