Cumberland County, NC - Breece Cemetery

Breece Cemetery

On a trip back there in 2000 I finally located the little burial ground, 
surrounded by a rusty iron gate and two absolutely beautiful marble stones, 
well protected by the elements due to the trees. The site is on a strip of 
land between the freeway (I-95) and a housing tract. Kids sometimes go into 
the woods there but I doubt anyone will ever "come across it" unless they’ve 
been there before. The Breece family is fairly well known in the area, the 
graves are of the widow of the civil war soldier Joseph Breece and one of 
their sons. 

Ida Elizabeth (Barfield, not on the stone) Breece 
"Wife of Joseph Breece" 
Born October 11, 1824
Died October 4, 1876  
"Rest mother rest, be quiet, sleep
while friends in sorrow o’er thee weep"

And

Samson Frederick Breece
Son of
Joseph & Ida E. Breece
Born June 8, 1853
Died April 1 1895        
"Beyond the bar we'll meet again
The loved ones missed so long
And with them sing forever more
unending song"
