WPA Cemetery Index
Prior to 1914
.
North Carolina began requiring death certificates statewide in 1913. During the Depression one of the Works Progress Administration (WPA) projects in North Carolina was to have workers visit cemeteries around the state to record grave marker information for deaths prior to 1914. This was done to supplement the vital records information that began with the death certificates. In 1938 W. C. Lankford recorded this information for the Bethlehem Christian Church cemetery. A transcription of this index is given at the link below. The particular copy of the WPA index that was used for the transcription was obtained from the North Carolina Archives. No effort has been made to check Lankford's written records against the information on the grave markers. Although a few obviously duplicate records were deleted, no other efforts were made to correct the mistakes in the WPA index. This data is provided as is for the convenience of interested researchers. There is no schedule for future supplements to this index to include post-1913 interments.
