This cemetery was started after 1990. The list of burials is incomplete and comes from their publication, The Bugle. It overlooks I-485.
This cemetery had 10 graves but only two with readable stones. It was to be relocated from the property of the J. A. Jones Construction Co. The County Commissioners asked that the graves be moved to the Pineville Cemetery. The information on the stones was about Henry W. Daniel of GA who gave his life for his beloved Southland 6-9-1864 and Annie Thrower, wife of H. W. Allen, who died in 1873. This was formerly near the old pump station and between U. S. 21 S. and the Southern Railway tracks. It was about 2 miles from the Starmount subdivision.
This is owned by Davidson College and started in 1838. Most people buried before 1880 had connections with the college or were related to someone associated with the college. This is visible from west side of Main St. and is north of Davidson College.
