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.

William E. Wiseman was one of the first white settlers of Avery County and a Revolutionary War Soldier. William Wiseman's plantation was known as Sunnybrook Farm. Suunybrook Farm was named for the stream which flows near where the old homestead once stood. You can reach the old Sunnybrook Farm from Spruce Pine, North Carolina by going north on Highwy 19E for about 5 miles. On the Sunnybrook Farm William maintained a good orchard. William Wiseman's house no longer stands. The Wiseman family cemetery was located at the southern end of the family garden. William was buried in an eight foot deep grave to prevent the wolves from digging up his body. The cemetery area was paved over by the highway and the graves were never moved. In the 1940's several great grandchildren got money together to erect a proper tombstone for their famous ancestor. It sits beside the road. Standing at the marker, if you measure 36 feet into the highway you are on the grave of William Wiseman.
