John Osborne Woodlief Cemetery 

Located northern Wake County, about 1 mile from the Granville Co. line.
From U.S. Hwy 98, go north on New Light Road to Woodlief Road (on your
right, about 1 mile or less from Granville Co line).
Go one-tenth of a mile on Woodlief Road. Cemetery is on your right,
under a large oak tree. The small family cemetery is fairly visible from
the road. Well cleaned and cared for. A new house will soon be
constructed on this property near the cemetery. Builders have indicated
plans to perhaps place a white picket fence around the plot. The eight
graves found at this cemetery appear to be the only graves .... it does
not look as if others were buried here (i.e., there do not appear to be
markers missing)
