Sometime before 1857 the members of Bethany began meeting for Sunday School and mid-week services in the Old Brick Academy, on the site of the present Leasburg Community Cemetery." (Source: The Heritage of Caswell County, North Carolina, Jeannine D. Whitlow, Editor (1985) at 37) In 1977 Jeannie Whitlow Keaton wrote "Found the site of Bethany Church. There were many homemade bricks covering a large area and many big stones in various mounds - some mounds had large trees on top. Have not yet determined exact spot of Bethany's foundation." First known burial was in 1800 and the last known burial was in 1917. In the vicinity of and across from 1787 Solomon Lea Road - barely visible from the road. Carolina Caswell located this cemetery by Caswell Co NC Deed Book 240 page 523 which identifies the cemetery as "Old Stanfield burying ground". There are many graves marked only with "planted" fieldstones. Old Bethany Methodist Church was across the road and to the south of this cemetery. See DB 133/405 and DB 100/283. Carolina Caswell conducted a photographic survey in December 2010. "Located 3 miles from Leasburg, N.C. on the Osmond Road." (1957, J. Burch Blaylock, Register of Deeds, Caswell Co NC) JBB 46
