CURRENT PROJECTS
Have Your Ancestor Memorialized
In early 2010, the Robeson County Historical and Genealogical Society will
publish a book containing the historical data (deceased’s name, birth date,
death date) on every gravestone in Lumberton’s Meadowbrook Cemetery. This
includes burials from April 1905 until December 31st, 2009.
If sufficient help is received from the community, the Society will accompany
this data with a short paragraph and/or picture. For your ancestor or relative
to be featured in this way, promptly send a paragraph of 125 words or less to
RCHGS
P.O. Box 2292

You may instead email it to
Gale.
Each submission must include the sender’s full name, relationship to deceased,
current address and phone number. Pictures are not returnable.
