Victoria, I'm a bit confused re: the "marking off of lots" in two of the cemeteries. In North Carolina, developers are required to notify descendents of those buried in grounds marked for development and to move known graves. In some areas, particularly in Currituck County, you will see small family burial grounds fenced off, surrounded by businesses, because it's too much trouble to actually move the graves. Is that not the case in South Carolina? And if not, who can we contact to change the laws? I find it abhorant that graves can simply be plowed over without consent.

Two of the cemeteries the ladies surveyed are now marked off for lot sales (mobile homes) and these photographs may be all that exists in the near future. [NOTE for David Jackson-- one of these cemeteries is the Hamilton Cemetery. :( ] If you've already looked at these cemeteries (below), you may want to check back...Sheila's sent in tombstones photographs for: Alford Cemetery the Johnson Cemetery on Stroud Road, Lake View Ray Cemetery on JoAnn Branch Rd. **this small cemetery has been staked for lot sales and we do not know what will happen to the tombstones. Don't know why USGS assigns this as the Ray cemetery; the few headstones in view are for HAYSE (HAYES), ROGERS, and FLOYD.
