Wilder Grove, Hwy. 64 E.
Raleigh NC
This is a busy 4 lane divided highway. On the left side of the road,
going east, you will see a Kroger Store, a K-Mart Store and closest
to the road, a bread outlet and a gas station. These are the landmarks
to guide you to this small cemetery.
They are all located in Wilders Grove Plaza, a shopping center bounded
on the left by Corporation Pkwy, and on the right by New Hope Road.
There is a cross-over to get into the shopping center, but if you miss
it, take the next left turn at New Hope Road and enter from there.
Next to the Gas Station-Minimart, is this remarkably well preserved
cemetery. There are 3 tombstones and 5 tombs, all in good condition.
I transcribed this from the tombstones on Feb 14, 2002.
