Location - In Bingham Township on a farm at 4006 NC Route 54 West, 0.52 mi. SW of the highway in a field. Private property.

Survey - This cemetery was surveyed on October 4, 1976. Milton Forsyth visited the site on 3 Mar 2006 through the courtesy of Mr. Shelton L. Ray, the landowner, and provided an update and photographs.

Graves - In 1976 there were two stones leaning against two ancient cedar trees, and Mr. Bud Durham said they were the graves of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Edwards and John Durham (baby of Ed Durham). He also said "Granny" Cabe was buried here. In 2006 two unmarked stones were found next to the cedar trees, but possibly not the same ones that were there in 1976. A splendid monument was erected in 2004 by Mr. Elton Edwards of Greensboro, NC, a descendant. The property was previously the old Betsy Cabe lands, and her house stood on a rise in the field near the cemetery.
