Wayne County, NC - Cox-Coor Cemetery

                       ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Cox-Coor graveyard uncovered and cleared by Mr. Seaton Howell on his property 
some 7 miles west of Goldsboro on the North side of Highway 70 West, Goldsboro, 
Wayne County, North Carolina. Mr. Howell has very graciously cleared and made 
visible the headstones in this cemetery, which had been neglected and overgrown 
for many years. He also gave me permission to look at and transcribe the 
headstones, and has no objection to my posting this transcription on this Wayne 
County GenWeb site. Many of the graves are of the children and some grandchildren 
of Edmund Coor (1811-1895) and Anna Maria Cox Coor (1817-1880), who was his first 
wife. Also buried here are the second wife of Edmund Coor, Adrianna (Ada) Hooks 
(1859-1923) and her second husband, Lonnie Dale (1867-1950).
