This cemetery may have been called Roseville at one time. It may also have some unmarked graves. A long time resident and local historian of Matthews thinks this may have been the cemetery for an African American church that was near Charles St. in Matthews. This cemetery is in a heavily wooded area and is between Monroe and a subdivision. It is across the street from the Family Dollar Co.
This cemetery is behind the church and their parking lot. It can be seen from the road.
This cemetery site is on a hilltop just inside Mecklenburg County, near the intersection of the county line and Brief Rd. There are no stones with the name Little on them. Only two stones with members of the Love family are still visible. The upper photo shows the fallen rock wall at the cemetery.

Dr. Charles DeForest Lucas bought the property in 1935. Lucas came from Virginia and bought the property on Campbell Creek to build a gristmill to support his family. At this point in the creek, there is a natural falls, which had previously been the site of a sawmill, which was abandoned in the 1860s. This cemetery may have also been known as Buffalo.
