The Robesonian Th 9/8/1932 1932
Visit to Interesting Old Cemetery.
 
   Former Governor A. W. McLean and son, Mr. Wilton, Jr., Mr. J. Dickson McLean, 
of Lumberton, and Rev. J. E. Purcell D. D., who is visiting relatives in Red 
Springs, made an interesting visit Saturday to two old cemeteries in Hoke 
county.  Mr. Purcell, son of the late J. E. Purcell of Red Springs, is head of 
men’s work of the Southern Presbyterian assembly, with headquarters in Richmond, 
Va.  In the old Buffalo cemetery, about 10 miles above Raeford, Beatrice 
Purcell, greatgreat-great-grandmother of Messrs. A. W. and J. Dickson McLean and 
Mr. Purcell, was buried 104 years ago.  She was a Revolutionary heroine and was 
twice married, her first husband being Malcolm Purcell and her second Daniel 
McEachern.  In the old McEachern cemetery they found the grave of Christine 
McMillan, wife of Gilbert McMillan, who was buried there 160 years ago.  She was 
a notable woman of the pre Revolutionary period and has many descendants in 
Robeson county.
