Walkertown Cemetery

Arthur Walker and Levy Walker bought adjoining land on the south side of highway 53 coming from Burgaw to Rhynes Crossroad or Wards Corner.  Their descendants -- three generations strong -- still occupy the land now know as 'Walkertown'.  A long row of brick ranch homes face Walkertown Road, gardens and fields across the road and in back of the homes.  Arthur Walker was determined that his people should have a decent burial place so he personally begin clearing a section of land.  Today, he rightfully rests there.
