Heth Family Cemetery
Location: Stockton Street
Owner: Owned by family
Size: approximately 35 'x 30' fenced
According to a family descendant, this cemetery was considerably larger than the fenced in area and contained many more graves. Most of the markers have been lost. There were Civil War soldier graves and a Castle family section. The first person buried here was a jockey who was killed at the "Racetracks". The combined marker for Virginia, Sally and Stockton Heth Jr. is a replacement one put in recently by the Heth family.
