I received an article (31 Dec. 1999) from the Raleigh News & Observer today, which told about the City of Cary's plans concerning the Mills Family Cemetery and 100 acres of the Mills Family Homestead. Cary has their sites on about 3 possible locations for a waste treatment plant. The only way that I know to help to change the minds of those in charge of deciding on using my family's cemetery, is to rally the various lineage organizations in support of leaving this historic cemetery alone. These would include: DAR, SAR, SCV, UDC, Daughters of 1812, among others. Of the 62 known graves, there are at least 11 military veterans buried at the cemetery. Naaman Mills (1757-1832) was a Rev. War veteran. His son, Britain Mills (1789-1856) served in the War of 1812. There are at least 7 Confederate veterans buried there, and 2 WWII vets. The cemetery was established in 1839, and now encompasses a portion of land which is 125 X 125 feet. The Mills Family is not considered to be an abandoned cemetery, in any way. There were burials there up until 1988. There has been a burial there in every decade since the 1830s. Is there anyone on this list who may have some ideas or suggestions about the NC cemetery laws, and how to go about protecting a cemetery that is in jeopardy from a proposed waste treatment plant?
