WOODSWORTH CEMETERY (NEGRO)

Transcribed from Historical Records Survey by WPA, conducted 1940, 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;

filmed by NC Archives; available as LDS Film # 0882940
NOTE: all directions and notations of condition are original, as noted in 1940 by the inventory worker;
transcribed September 2000
[NOTE: I believe this community is the same one sometimes recorded as ÒWoodworthÓ - S.H.B.]
