Bonham Cemetery 

New Hanover County, North Carolina

Surveyed by Michael & Judy Chesson June 2007
Directions: Turn onto Myrtle Grove Loop Road from Carolina Beach Road (Hwy 421). You will pass Williams Road and go about 2 miles.
Shannon Road will be on your right. When Shannon Drive turns 90 degrees to the left, follow the straight path up behind the brick wall that
can be seen from the road. Two cemeteries are side by side, but they are distinctly separated by a brick wall and gate.
