On January 21, 2005 my husband and I went to the Sampson Cemetery and photographed these pictures. From I-95 take Hwy 210 west about 1/2 mile. To get to the cemetery you now have to go through the new housing development just west of Leo McGuire Road (about 1/2 mile west of I-95). From Hwy. 210 turn south into the development and follow the signs to Sampson Cemetery.

This is possibly the gravestone of William James Wilson's wife, Marian Isadora (Russell) Wilson. Gravestone says: "W. J. Wilson, Mother, At Rest". The middle row looks like it might have said WIFE at one time but changed to MOTHER.
