This old Weeks Family Cemetery is located in rural northern Sampson County on the private property of Ray Pat (in 2005-2012) off State Road 1740, aka Darden Road. It is set in the edge of a wooded area behind several large turkey houses. In 2005, the cemetery was located by Gerald T. Weeks, great, great grandson of Bennett & Pennie Weeks. He spearheaded an effort to cut down the brush and weeds and clean the gravestones. There are numerous unmarked graves, or marked only with a piece of stone. In the thick woods surrounding this cemetery, the remains of at least 2 old wooden gravemarkers are visible (in 2012); both are almost completely decayed. GPS location in the center of the cemetery is 35 degrees, 09' 10.15"N; 078 degrees, 16' 06.69"W. "Sacred to the Memory of . . . the W.P.A." the Works Progress Administration Pre -1914 Cemetery Inscription Survey for Sampson County, NC, originally compiled by Ussery, Jackson & Wilson and the edited version by Bradley Lee West, lists burials in this cemetery for Arthur B Weeks, Bennett Weeks, Freddie T. Weeks, James H. Weeks, Lula V. Weeks, Livvie C. Weeks, Mary D. H. Weeks, Nancy J. Weeks, Pennie E. Weeks,and Zora Lee Weeks. Halls Crossroad is probably not the correct "city" for this cemetery, but Find-a-grave forces a choice from their list.
