About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

Location: In Carrboro off Guthrie Ave, a gravel road running south past the site of the Ready Mixed Concrete Plant on Brewer Lane.

Additional information: Milton Forsyth photographed the cemetery site December 20, 2005. He was directed to the site by Mr William P Gattis, who resided nearby and compiled information on the local African-American community.

It is thought that at least three persons are buried on the site, and possibly more. The names are believed to be: Mama Strowd, Lou Strowd, and Callie Strowd. No death certificates are found in the Orange County records matching possible burials under these names at this site. A cemetery relocation firm was unable to find any information about the cemetery or burials there. Mr. Gattis continues to seek information on possible names and burials in this family cemetery.

Mr Gattis was instrumental in 2004 in convincing the Carrboro Board of Aldermen to preserve this cemetery site, in an historically African-American neighborhood, which was threatened by construction of an apartment complex.
