HOLT-MORGAN (Massey Hill) CEMETERY
Fayetteville, Cumberland County, NC
Surveyed by Andrew Schnobrich, Hope Mills Scout Troop 767

Posted May 06, 2006 by Myrtle Bridges.

Andrew's Eagle Scout project of working in the Holt - Morgan Cemetery included cleaning the 
cemetery, repairing broken headstones, video taping of the headstones, and taking still digital 
photos of each headstone. What makes the headstone pictures unique is Andrew, with many hours of 
help from other volunteers, rubbed white flour into the engraved letters and numbers which made 
the words stand out very well.
 
Andrew has also plotted a diagram on graph paper the location of each headstone in the cemetery. 
He then transcribed each marker with a corresponding number to the diagram. See Holt Morgan Pdf
