It is adjacent on the SE to the Vincents Family Cemetery (#209). Private property. The cemetery is in the Orange County GIS system as PIN 9865-50-5932.

This cemetery is also known as the Whitted-Grady-Obie Families cemetery.

Survey - This cemetery was surveyed on December 6, 1974. Milton Forsyth visited the site and made a few photographs in February 2005, and revised the location directions.

Graves, Marked - There were 20 graves marked.

Graves, Unmarked - There were 23 unmarked graves.

Status [1974] - The unfenced cemetery of seven rows is unkempt, although it appears to be cleaned at intervals. There are rough stones and blank funeral markers. Mr. Clyde W. Whitted, Sr. of Hillsborough has supplied the identifications for 10 of these names. The earliest marked grave is that of Baby --ell, R. Obie, d. 1933.

Status Update [2005] - This cemetery has been vandalized and desecrated, apparently by the residents of the apartment complex. It appeared to have been used in 2004 for a Halloween Ghost House (note photo view). It was difficult to make out any order in the grave locations. Newer burials were noted in the cemetery.
