Abstract:
The cemetery at Beck's United Church of Christ in Davidson County was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984, but many of the stones were deteriorating. The North Carolina Division of Archives and History stepped in to help restore the markers properly. The main problems of concern to the specialists were repairing broken stones, cleaning weathered stones, and protecting stones from lawn mowers.
