Located on Hwy # 64 East (New Bern Ave.) on the south side of the road 
immediately after crossing the Neuse River from the west into Knightdale, 
this abandoned cemetery is slated to be disinterred and the remains 
reinterred in Oakwood Cemetery, Raleigh, NC. The small cluster of graves 
is located on a 20.88 acre parcel owned by Parkway Properties Group LLC, 
and zoned "Heavy Commercial". 

(* Wake Co. Real Estate Records gives 0 Knightdale Blvd. as the address, 
but it is more familiarly known as Hwy. # 64 east.)
