Mallett Chapel and Cemetery

Location: At the intersection of River Road (SR1191) and Mallett Road (SR1120) in the community of Etowah, Henderson County, North Carolina. Also known as the Bryn Avon Cemetery as it is part of an estate of approximately 127.86 acres on the south side of the French Broad River in Etowah.

Cemetery established in 1957; chapel built in 1976. The chapel and cemetery are located in a small shaded area at the edge of a meadow and on the immediate east side of an old little used drive to the house off Mallett Road. A stone wall, erected by David Saltonstall Mallett and workmen, carries along the east side of the drive for a
short distance. A lynch-gate in the wall provides access from the lane to the burying ground and chapel. The grounds of the chapel and cemetery are mostly moss-covered, and there are
ornamental plantings of rhododendron and azalea. As a group the grave markers are modest in character and serve their memorial purpose, but they are not intrusive in the natural setting.

The designation of this place as a family cemetery dates to 1957, the year in which Wilford S. Conrow agreed in April to pay for the planting of a beech tree; his ashes were interred here after his death on 24 November and the site marked by a simple metal marker.

This information is taken from the National Register of Historic Places Registration Form filed on 3-2-1999 for the Bryn Avon estate.
