Wayne County, NC - Salem Cemetery File contributed for use in USGenWeb Archives by William H. Malpass 5/5/98 - Bill & Lee Malpass, III My wife, Lee and I went to the cemeteries listed below and video taped each grave. We then transcribed the information to this list. We checked our list against "Gravestone Inscriptions, an Inventory of Cemeteries in Wayne County" Here-after referred to as "The Book" and also parts of the WPA. We checked, double checked, cross-checked, and re-visited the cemeteries, and expect that there may still be errors; especially considering how difficult it is to read some of the stones. Since The Book was published prior to our visit to the cemeteries, after each list I have listed entries in the book that I did not see at the cemetery. The WPA entries are noted where they differ from others. I put the information in a format I think will be easier to use. We tried to start at one end and weave back and forth along each line as best as we could tell them, and that is the sequence of the list. In some cases, when the surname was not given, I used the surname of the husband or father. These are our personal work-sheets and not intended for publication, however, anyone may use them as they wish. Salem Cemetery: Located at intersection of SR 1313 and 1300. Follow Hwy 117 north from Goldsboro to Belfast. Turn left on SR 1313. Follow SR 1313 to SR 1300. At that intersection, the Salem Methodist Church is at your right. Look across and to the right to see the cemetery. There is a drive that divides the cemetery in half. The drive starts at the road and goes back. We started on the left (south) side, went to the back and then switched to the other side and started back toward the road.
