WEIR FAMILY CEMETERY (also known as the Sally Fox Cemetery & the Stewart 
Family Cemetery)

Transcribed from Historical Records Survey by WPA, conducted 1940, of pre-
1914 cemeterymarkers in Vance County, North Carolina. Only markers erected 
prior to 1914 were recorded, hence all markers in a cemetery are not 
necessarily shown. On occasion it appears information not on the gravestones 
was inserted into the inventory, presumably by family members or locals. 
Any notations as to race of cemeteries were made on the original inventory 
and were not added by the transcriber.

NOTE: all directions and notations of condition are original, as noted in 
1940 by the inventory worker; transcribed September 2001
