Abrams Cemetery, Polk County, North Carolina ABRAMS CEMETERY POLK COUNTY, NC By W. D. Floyd I don’t know the name of this cemetery but I am calling it the Abrams Cemetery because that is the oldest marked burial. This cemetery is located on the south side of Landrum Road about 600 feet west of the intersection with NC 9. This is in the Sandy Plains Community. I was there November 20, 1997. There are a few unknowns marked with field stones as duly noted.
