Abstract:

Noted in the introduction, "the article is a much needed lesson for genealogists, who view cemeteries as reflections of a broader social and cultural context as well as sources of names and dates. As New England has long been a supplier of stone for North Carolina grave markers, so the Northern studies offer models which could be emulated to enlarge our understanding of southern culture."
