From An Article Appearing in the Fayetteville Observer, June 9, 2001 -

 ....The church is on Philippi Church Road in Eastern Hoke County. Beyond
the tree line to the southeast of the church lie graves from the early 20th
century, most markers are lost or unreadable.  A few markers exist and are
legible it was a black graveyard.

 Tom Hadley, who was a farmer, died of an accidental gunshot wound in 1923.
Maggie Hadley was a midwife and died in 1921 at the age of 70.   Her grave
is next to Tom's.  Two other Hadleys are buried there including an infant
who died in 1921 seven days after its birth.  Neill Bandy's headstone is
standing, a railroad worker died of pneumonia in 1923. The Rev. F. D. Bandy
who died in 1927 is also there.  No one know who owns the land, the county
said a survey will be done.
