Miranda Cemetery

There was formerly a church / school near the location. The congregation was formed in 1869 by black members of Hopewell Presbyterian Church and possibly several other predominantly white churches. The land was originally part of the Carr plantation. The church merged with the Catawba Presbyterian Church in 1958. A nickname for Miranda was Slab Top.
