Survey Date: March 12th, 2006

Directions: From Whiteville, take Hwy 130 East. Turn right on to Hwy 905 South. At a left bend in 905, there is a crossroads. Not sure of the road names, but turn right onto SR 1159. Go past Poley Bridge Church. You will also pass several mobile homes on the left side. Just past these mobile homes is a dirt road on the left leading into the trees and farm fields. Go about a mile up the dirt road and turn to the left. Once you pass through some trees you will come to the graveyard.
Digital photos of headstones available. Contact EJ Hardee via email.
