Burns ---------------------------------------------------------------------- RICKETS CEMETERY Location: This one is a little tricky to locate. Heading South out of Wadesboro on NC 742; go about 10 miles, turn right onto Old Ruby, SC Rd. Go down this road about 3/4 mile, there should be a farm access trail headed off to your left. Follow this past an old fallen down house, up a bit of a hill, then the trail bears left. Cross a little stream and cemetery to your right about 60 yards in a clump of trees.
