County Home Cemetery

July 2009 - August 2009
Columbus County, NC
According to news articles, between 50-100 unknown people were buried in what was the County Home cemetery. The cemetery land was later sold and the bodies reinterred in 3 mass graves near Legion Stadium in Whiteville. After researching death certificates in Columbus County, I have personally put together a small list of those known to have been buried in the cemetery. If you know of any others that were buried in County Home cemetery, email me with the information so that I may add them to this list.
