This abandoned and vandalized cemetery has at least 10 marked graves dating from 1904 to 1957. Canvassed by Mack and Juanita Vickers (1983).

The land where this cemetery was located has been sold and turned into a strip mall. All the graves and gravestones were dug up and moved to the Massey Methodist Chapel Church on Massey Road, about a mile from the old homeplace. This information from Bill Harris of New Bern NC on 21 May 2001.
