Greene County, NC - Barfield Cemetery ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Corrections and notes made in Aug. 2004 I don't remember exact directions to this cemetery.

I. & Elizabeth Beaman, June 22, 1892, June 22, 1898 I have been told that this is where William Henry Wheeler, Sr. & his wife Malvina Carraway Wheeler are buried, but their graves are unmarked. They are supposed to be buried under the big tree on the left as you enter the cemetery. This information came from their great-granddaughter, Bertha Walston Shirley. Malvina was 91 when she died at the home of her granddaughter, Dora Wheeler Walston in 1924. Dora was the mother of Bertha. ___________________________________________________________________ Copyright.
