ONSLOW COUNTY, NC - CEMETERIES - Collins Cemetery ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Copyright. All rights reserved. http://www.usgwarchives.net/copyright.htm This file was contributed for use in the USGenWeb Archives by: Teresa Ortega ---------------------------------------------------------------------- DATE RECORDED MARCH 28, 2004 Collins Cemetery (land owned by Benny Collins - located across the road from his home and at the edge of the woods across the field form his house (there is a cedar tree located in the cemetery). If you continue around the loop from the Kellum Cemetery listed above - you will find the cemetery about a mile on the right. Cemetery is well maintained, however the ones with print facing the woods have shrubs that interfere with viewing information clearly. And the tombstones just mentioned were not professionally carved and are somewhat difficult to read and one has eroded away partially. Benny Collins is my Great Uncle and I spoke with him about accessing this cemetery. I’d been told there was a cemetery besides this one. He said there is one that had small graves, believed to be children (but he doesn’t know who’s, or who they were). This other cemetery is located near the woods a little ways to the right of the cemetery recorded below. The other graves use to have wooden markers, which have all eroded and there is no visible sign of them now. The only indication would be the pine tree, at the edge of the woods, located between this Cemetery and the brick home of his daughter.
