Recorded from tombstones, Shirley Olson, glolson@attglobal.net

Dir. : Take Exit # 287, Interstate # 40,and Harrison Ave.(SR 1652), Wake Co., 
NC,  Go north 4/10 mi. through the entrance of Umstead State Park to a paved 
parking lot, and park over on the right side. The Loblolly Trail runs from the 
right side of the parking lot. Walk 1/10 mi. on the Loblolly Trail to the 
cemetery on your right. 

There is a rusted fence surrounding the graves and many fallen trees leaning 
over the cemetery. Most of the grave markers have crumbled or have been 
rendered unreadable. The cemetery is not endangered because it is located in 
Umstead Park, but it is seriously deteriorated and could use some maintenance, 
especially removal of the large trees hanging over the fence. There appears 
to be at least 7 graves, only 3 are positively marked. This is an abandoned 
cemetery no longer in use.
