The following is a complete listing of the tombstones in the White Cemetery in Craven County, NC.
Location On Cobbstown Rd in a field to the right EXTREMELY overgrown! We need to save this cemetery!!!! The stones are almost impossible to get to much less read. Some I had to use my camera lens to pull them in close because of the briars I couldn't get close. This cemetery won't survive much longer at the rate it is going.
