CEMETERY HISTORY:
------------------------

Paul Orr and I visited Bill Black on 26 JAN 2005.  Bill's grandson, Chase 
Black, took us to the cemetery directly behind their house on Hurricane 
Creek Road.  The cemetery overlooks I-85 south in a clump of trees near the 
main power lines crossing I-85.

There looks to be two rows of graves in a 50 foot by 100 foot area. Cemetery 
grass (Vinca or Periwinkle) covers about half an acre.

There are over 21 graves, most marked by fieldstones.  There are 2 readable 
tombstones.
