Return to Dare County

From Hwy. 12 in Avon take Harbor Rd. and go about 0.4 mile.  The cemetery sits behind the old Avon Fire Department which is now used for storage.  A few of the graves were not found and some could not be read and, in that case, we've used Sacred To Their Memory by Lois Johnson Meekins & Amy Midgett Gamiel; ©2001 who surveyed the cemetery in 1994.  These photographs are compliments of Patrick Patterson who visited this cemetery in April 2012.
