Abstract:
When Bill Floyd goes to a cemetery, he takes a clipboard, mirror, and laptop with him. His passion for preserving information found on gravestones earned him the nickname Cemetery Man. He began collecting and organizing this information in 1995. Since then, Floyd has documented material on thousands of tombstones in countless cemeteries in western North Carolina, including those in Rutherford, Cleveland, Gaston, Lincoln, and Burke Counties. The material is available on his website, which covers over 1,200 pages.
