BROOKSTON BAPTIST CEMETERY (NEGRO)

Transcribed from WPA Historical Records Survey, conducted ca 1937, of pre 1914 cemetery markers 
in Vance County, North Carolina; 
Only markers erected prior to 1914 were recorded, hence all markers in a cemetery are not 
necessarily shown; On occasion it appears information not on the gravestones was inserted 
into the inventory, presumably by family members or locals; Any notations as to race of cemeteries
were made on the original inventory and were not added by the transcriber.

NOTE: all directions and notations of condition are original, as noted in 1937 by the inventory worker;
