Dwelle Slave Cemetery

The plot was once owned by H. C. Dwelle and his family. There were 17 graves that were in a wooded area, which is now the site of Theater Charlotte. The graves were relocated in 1941 to an unnamed downtown cemetery. An African-American mortician named Grier performed the relocation.
