Directions:
The Peeler Cemetery is located south of Gaffney, South
Carolina on Peeler Creek Road . Take S.C. 18 South out
of Gaffney. Continue going down S.C.18 until you come
to S.C.105; take a left on S.C.105. You will
continue down S.C.105 to Peeler Creek Road. Take a right
on Peeler Creek Road (it's the only direction you can
turn off S.C.105). Go down Peeler Creek Road until you
come to where the Peeler Creek Road starts to go over a
hill. Before you go over the hill look to your right and you
will see an old house sitting off the road at the bottom of
the hill. Turn right into the driveway leading up to
the house. You will find the driveway going down to the
house is very steep. Head down the driveway & you will
see a gate in front of you that leads into a pasture. We had
to climb over the gate to get into the pasture. When
going into the pasture look at the end of the old road
and you will see another gate. Walk towards that gate
at the end of the road, as you get closer you will
see another gate to the left of the gate you are
walking towards. You will need to go through the old gate on the
left. The Peeler Cemetery is going to be back in the trees
on your left. After going through the gate walk to your left
around the tree line looking to your left. Sitting back
in the trees you will see a few old headstones sticking
up. This is the old Peeler Cemetery. If you need more
help please feel free to call Jim Stacey at (979) 535-7434 are email me at
