WPA Henderson County Cemetery Survey 1937 – 1938

NC Archives – Henderson County Cemetery Survey

Index to Survey – including oldest birth and oldest death transcribed from the tombstones

WPA-Cemetery-Survey  Index

This index gives the page number for each of the cemeteries transcribed.  Additional information has been added to the index.  The first column is the oldest birthdate recorded in that cemetery with the name of the person in parenthesis.  The second column is the oldest death recorded in that cemetery.  It is hoped that this will give the researcher a “time line” for that particular cemetery.  This was done from a quick scan, if a researcher finds an older one please let us know.

Please remember that there are errors and typos in these transcriptions and data warrants a second source.  Some of the cemeteries have been moved since this survey was completed, i.e. Old Presbyterian is no longer there and some of those old graves were moved to Oakdale, but not all.
