Transcribed by: David B High, April 1999, from the private publication "They're Buried in Our Past, Columbus County, NC, 1808-1984 (Vol 3)" dated September, 1988. This cemetery is #125 in the survey. Permission granted by the authors, Anita Barfield and Kay Duncan. Dates are shown in a uniform format.

Info from Herman W Stevens: Land for the Stevens Cemetery was given by Travis Stevens, as told to me by my father, Samuel Dewey Stevens.  Sometimes people refer to the cemetery as the Stanley Cemetery. However, the Stanley name became a part of the Stevens generations through marriage. Pearson Stanley, if I am not mistaken, was the first to marry into the Stevens family. Others such as John A Gore also married into the family. The Stevens family still lays claim to the cemetery as their family cemetery.
