The following is a complete listing of the tombstones in the Johnson Family Cemetery in New Hanover County, NC.
Location: This cemetery is beside the Bryan and Bohnam cemeteries on Shannon Dr. I have called it the Johnson Family cemetery because there are more Johnson’s there than any other name. It is separated from the other two with a brick wall for a fence all the way around and only a metal gate to enter. To find these cemeteries, Take HWY421 (Carolina Beach Road) South from Wilmington. When you come to Myrtle Grove Loop Road, turn left. Follow this road for 3 miles and Shannon Drive will be on the right. The name of the development is called Shalamoor. Turn right onto Shannon drive and when the road turns 90 degrees to the left take the path straight. You can see the brick fence from the road and the cemeteries are directly behind that fence.
