The neglected 1.21 acre cemetery on the grounds of Paige Point Plantation was rededicated Thursday, September 24. 
The cemetery, overgrown and vandalized, is the burial site of freed slaves from Paige Point Plantation and had become the resting place of local residents through out the years. The use of ground penetraing radar located 120 graves, only two of which still had standing head stones.
Beaufort County cleaned up the site and erected 15 new head stones of those graves which could identified. Five more blank stones were added in memory of the 115 graves of people who will never be identified.
