The cemetery of the First Presbyterian Church of Greensboro is located on the grounds of the Greensboro Historical Museum. Known as the Old Presbyterian Graveyard, this cemetery is a historian's delight. Arborists will find the cemetery of interest given the wide variety of trees planted here in recent years. Burials in the cemetery range from 1831- 1926. Among the Greensborians buried in this cemetery are Governor John Motley Morehead, (short story writer) O.Henry's parents, and veterans of the Revolutionary, 1812, and Civil Wars.
Many books are available through Amazon

Well, as usual I like the photograph and the "subject". For some reason I love old graveyards, the older the better, especially when they look weather beaten like these tombs. It's also nice to know about the people laid to rest here!

very nice capture. It has lots of texture and historic interest. BTW, thank you for your comments on my website and I am glad you enjoyed the photos. When I try to click on your Greensboro site in your comments, it will not take me into your website but states that it is not released to the public. You might want to fix the setting as that is a frequent way that people select to find your site. Just a thought . . .

I'm so glad I discovered your site - and have shared it with lots of friends. Enjoy it every day, and even more so on the days you've shared photos of my workplace - the Historical Museum!
