Nichols Cemetery
Wake County, North Carolina

Contributed by Barbara Allen, Apr 08, 2004 [dallenResearch@aol.com]. Total records = 3.

From Raleigh, drive north on US1 North (Capitol Blvd) passing under the interchange with I-540 and turn left on Greshams Lake Road. Take Greshams Lake road about 1.5 miles to Harps Mill Rd. Turn right on Harps Mill and then take the second left at Goudy Dr. Park at the end of the street (1 block).

To access Greshams Lake Road from I-540 requires going north on US1 to a cross over and coming back south because there is a barrier preventing a left turn on Greshams Lake from the I-540 ramp.

The cemetery is directly behind the house on the left. There is a path through the trees along the edge of the house which is a deeded access to the cemetery.

I counted at least 28 graves in this cemetery, but only three have engraved headstones. Some of the others have un-engraved headstones, rock or metal markers or are obvious depressions.

I surveyed this cemetery in Mar of 2004.
