Tombstone Inscriptions - Orange and Alamance Counties - N.C.

Durward T. Stokes of Alamance Co. surveyed a number of abandoned or lost cemeteries - primarily in Alamance County but moved around crossing into Orange Chatham and Randolph Counties. His manuscript was typed in 1979 but never published. His actual surveys occurred in 1958-9. This was fortunate since a number of these locations are gone - and the old tombstones are not getting better (visually) with age. Therefore I as editor retyped his manuscript - and added historical remarks (where helpful) pictures I took in modern times and a detailed index. Durward had some B&W pictures - which are included in this book as well.Lastly there are two graveyards that I found that Durward was not aware of - included with pictures and maps in an Appendix.
