Cemetery in Crown Harbor
This cemetery has mostly unmarked graves. The graves not marked are hard to determine because of the natural erosion on this hilly property and the number of fallen trees in this wooded area. The many dead trees and limbs make access difficult. There were only three readable stones found in 2003. This cemetery is believed to have once been a church cemetery, but it is unknown whether others in the community ever used it. Due to the dates on the stones, it does not appear to have been used since the 1910s at the latest. This is not a complete list of burials.

The brother of this child came back years later to place a stone on the grave. The stone is made of steatite, which is common in the NC mountains.
