Does anyone know if the big cemetery in Raleigh has been surveyed and indexed, the name of which I can't remember at the moment, Woodlawn ...Montlawn or something like that, not Oaklawn. I am looking for two burials: George Badger Clark and Worth S. Williams, both of which are supposedly buried there. Also, the indexing of the listed counties appear to be incomplete. I know my Gr. Mother Martha Hoyle Clark is buried in the Zebulon City Cemetery but I could not find her listing. John Clark --- Joanne Gaudio <jgaudio@charter.net> wrote:

John, Matha's buried in Wakefield Cemetery. That inventory is here: http://cemeterycensus.com/nc/wake/cem205.htm I'm pretty sure Martha's grave is next to Dennis', but they've got these listed alphabetically and for some reason Martha is under the Hoyles (#112) rather than under the Clarks. Also in that same cemetery are Henry Ransom Hoyle & his wife Martha Hayes & some of their children. -Sandy On Feb 24, 2007, at 10:02 AM, JOHN AND JUNE CLARK wrote: > Does anyone know if the big cemetery in Raleigh has > been surveyed and indexed, the name of which I can't > remember at the moment, Woodlawn ...Montlawn or > something like that, not Oaklawn.

Be reminded that this a volunteer project and not all cemeteries have been surveyed and listed. Most of the ones that have are the results of tireless individuals that have contributed there time and effort to this project. ----- Original Message ----- From: "JOHN AND JUNE CLARK" <jcandjc2@verizon.net> To: <ncwake@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, February 24, 2007 11:02 AM Subject: Re: [NCWAKE] Wake County Cemetery Listings > Does anyone know if the big cemetery in Raleigh has > been surveyed and indexed, the name of which I can't > remember at the moment, Woodlawn ...Montlawn or > something like that, not Oaklawn.

I understand that this is an ongoing project and that they are continuing to survey and add to this database on a regular basis, so you should check back every few weeks, or months, to see what's new there. Some of these cemeteries have hundreds of burials, and remember that not all of them have headstones, I've noticed that these wonderful people have even gone to the trouble of going through the county records to find out as much info as they can about the ones that don't have headstones. I came across one cemetery in Durham, Grove Hill Cemetery, an African American Cemetery from 1933-1943 that had 349 burials in it, yet the land was sold several times since then ending up as a business complex in the 1970's, and in 1993, as a children's prep school, but not one of those graves had been removed, most of them had apparently been covered over by previous owners except one lonely headstone. Here is the link to the story; follow the paper trail on the "click here" link on the page: http://cemeterycensus.com/nc/durh/cem262.htm I can't tell you how appalled I was by this, but the story came to light only through the tireless work of these people surveying the cemeteries on their own time. By the way, earilier I posted that I though there were 3 counties in this project, but here is a complete list of the counties: Alamance, Caswell, Chatham, Durham, Granville, Orange, Person, Surry, Vance, Wake.
