Cemeteries (Historical points of interest)
Bethel Presbyterian Church Cemetery
Bethel Presbyterian Church celebrates its 250th anniversary this year! Their historic cemetery is the final resting place for many individuals from Clover, South Carolina including those that started our small town, as well as soldiers from the Revolutionary War, and subsequent wars.
Woodside Cemetery
Woodside Cemetery was established in 1880 by the Clover Presbyterian Church. In 1906, the property was deeded to the Town of Clover as a town cemetery. This cemetery is home to the Clover Veterans Memorial which was dedicated in November 2005 “In Honor and Memory of Those Who Served in Peace and War to Preserve Freedom.” Woodside Cemetery now encompasses 14.6 acres of land with over 3,500 marked graves and between 500 and 600 unmarked graves.
