 WHITEHEAD CEMETERY(Man & Wife)
Seventy-First Township, 1905-1909.
One marker for two graves located in a wooded area (290' contour) near the sout
heast corner of the intersection
of Yadkin and Reilly Roads.  The first burial was for Moses
Whitehead (1837-1905) who was joined by his wife Annie J. Chavis
(1939-1909) four years later.  The grave is surrounded by a
5x9' fence of cement posts with two rails of 1x6 planks bolted
onto the posts.

White Georgia Marble lecturn (approx. 4 1/2' high) with a
beveled top set on a double low beveled base.  The family
name is inscribed on the second level of the base.
A closed book is on the top surface and a band of floral
design encircles the bottom of the lecturn.  The motif
above the epitaph on the east side is a heavenly gate with
a star top center.  The top west side corners are chipped,
as is the northeast corner of both base levels.
