INTRODUCTION   The history of Kinston’s historic cemeteries is the history of those who are buried in these hallowed grounds. A major goal of the Historic Cemeteries Task Force is to compile a meaningful record of those interred in Maplewood, Cedar Grove and Hebrew Cemeteries.   The first effort will be to seek direct information from family members whose descendants are buried in these city-owned burial grounds. To facilitate the process, the task force has developed the attached questionnaire. Information gleaned through this method will be extremely helpful in compiling this record of memories.   Click here for form.   Thank you for your help.
