From the Morganton MOUNTAINEER, 1884:

"". . . .the daughter of TOney Pearson, was burned to death last Saturday on the premises of W.E. Powe, Esq. The child fired its clothing and ran out into the yard, where it was burned to death before it could be rescued."

It is unlikely that this small grave was moved, but it may possibly have been.
