Home 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 McAbee

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."
