The Daniel Autry buried here was called "Big Dan". He was the twin brother of John "Big John" Autry. (See Autry Family Cemetery). After Daniel returned from the Civil War he started the Autry Brothers Mill that became known all over the south for its corn meal and grits. Autry Mill merged with Houses Mill in 1967 to become House-Autry Mill which is still in business in Four Oaks, N. C.
