West - Wofford
Cemetery
The cemetery is exactly 1.9 miles
south of the caution light at Glenn Springs on the right
side of road 215. You have to look close to see it.
There is a house on the same side right below it and
you have to park in their driveway since the road is
too narrow to park on the side. Directions supplied by Jackie

for Two Soldiers of Revolution Dedicated
Source: The Spartanburg Herald-Journal May 14, 1933
"Two markers were dedicated yesterday afternoon in a little
cemetery two miles southeast of Glenn
Springs, on the Spartanburg-Union Highway, to the
memory of two Revolutionary soldiers, Benjamin West, a
private in the Spartan Regiment, South
Carolina Cavalry, and Lieutenant Henry White, First
Carolina Infantry.
The dedication
was conducted by Kate Barry Chapter, assisted by the
Cowpens Chapter, Daughters of the American
Revolution, the Spartan Chapter, Sons of
the American Revolution, and Benjamin Roebuck Chapter, Children of
the American Revolution, with fitting
ceremonies.
The Program: "attention" was sounded
by the bugler. The Rev. H.H. Gregory,
pastor of the Philadelphia Church at Pauline, made the invocation,
which was followed by "The Salute to the
Flag", repeated by the assembly. A song,
"America the Beautiful" was sung by the members of the Benjamin
Roebuck Chapter, C.A.R., under the direction
of Mrs. Olivia Gould......After the singing of the
"The Battle Hymn of the Republic" by the entire
assembly, D.C. Gregory of Glenn Springs pronounced the
benediction, followed by "taps."
