Located on private land in a wooded area next to Ft. Bragg, 
approximately 1200' west of Stewart's Creek (260' contour) 
and 1300' northwest of Lake Hutaff.  The cemetery is about 
2,112' east of the approach road to the ammunition supply point 
and about 100' south of Ft, Bragg's boundary road.  
The cemetery has been badly vandalized leaving approximately 
17 looter holes and broken stones strewn about.  Only two 
headstone base fragments and seven footstones and footstone 
fragments remain in place.  The presence of eleven other 
headstones and seven other footstones are indicated by the 
remaining fragments lying on the ground surface, for a total 
of thirteen head and fourteen footstones.  The markers, looter 
holes, and marker fragments cover an area approximately 
110'N/S and 35' E/W.  There are two partial death dates: 
Neill McDonald who died in 19__ and an unidentified woman 
who died in 190_.  Two birth dates are indicated:  
1808 (Nancy McDonald) and 184_ (unidentified).  
The name "Lauder" is found on the bottom of one stone indicating
the cemetery was in use while he was in business between 1845 
and 1888.  All of the markers are white marble with the 
headstones facing to the east and the footstones to the west.  
Measurements of this cemetery's stones were taken in an attempt 
to match up fragments (w=width, t=thickness).
