Abstract:
Construction of Peace Institute was begun in 1860 but due to the Civil War was not opened until 1872. The main building was originally used as a Confederate Hospital and later to house the Freedman's Bureau. In this article, the author concentrates on a lawsuit brought out in 1842, seeking to resolve William Peace's rightful portion of his brother's estate. The documents generated offer a rich source of genealogical information. William Peace and his brother Joseph were partners in a successful mercantile firm in Raleigh. William donated $10,000 and eight acres of land in 1857 for the creation of Peace Institute.

Abstract:
The city cemetery in Raleigh was established in 1798. Records of the cemetery were destroyed by fire in the 1890s and again in the 1930s. Interesting is a handwritten notebook by cemetery superintendent in 1934 with two pages entitled "People Buried in the Colored Part of the Cemetery". The listing abstracted here combines the superintendent's list with the available recorded tombstones.
