Woolvin-Burnett Family Cemetery

New Hanover County NC

Surveyed by Amy Byrd and Steve Szabo February 2007




The following is a complete listing of the tombstones in the Buck Family Cemetery in New Hanover County, NC.

Location: Take US-17 (Market St.) to Middle Sound Loop Rd. Take Middle Sound Loop Rd. to Kenmore Dr. Make a RIGHT on W. Brandywine Circle. Thorough way will be on right (179 Brandywine Circle).

While we were there, we got a little history of the cemetery. A lady named Kay Allen told us there were 110 graves in the cemetery. (Which....could be, but no visible tombstones) Mr. Woolvin....don't know which one....was the FIRST mortician in New Hanover county. (It's "documented" which one). Kay said that she "keeps" the thorough way for the cemetery open just in case. So, the driveway for it is in her yard.
