Rodgers Family Cemetery - Stantonsburg, NC

This cemetery is located just over the Wilson County line on Bar Tee Bridge Road, on the left after you pass Tyson Farm Road. It is directly on the side of the road, but hidden in the trees. While technically in Wilson County, I am including it here because many of the people buried here have Greene County roots. 

It is commonly known in the area as the Rodgers Family Cemetery. The Rodgers Family had homesites along Bar Tee Bridge Road.

Article: "Snow Hill Citizen Sends Bullet Through His Head at Wilson" -- July 31, 1914

"SNOW HILL CITIZEN SENDS BULLET THROUGH HIS HEAD AT WILSON"

 The Eastern Reflector, July 31, 1914

"WILSON, July 26—Within 15 minutes after his arrival here of six o' clock tonight Joe Bunn, a white man of Snow Hill, was a suicide in a questionable resort and no cause can be assigned for the deed. Alighting from the train from Snow Hill, Bunn went immediately to the house of Cora Judy, a white woman of bad reputation. He was received into the house and immediately took up his position on the lid of a small trunk. He appeared ill at ease, nervous and excited. In a few moments he requested a room on the second floor, then he asked for a glass of water, and while she was down stairs for the water she heard a pistol shot. Another inmate of the house rushed into the room and found Bunn entirely nude, stretched out on the bed, with his hand tightly clutched a revolver lying across his chest, and a gaping bullet hole in his forehead. Search of his clothes failed to reveal any cause of the rash act. A dozen cigarettes were found in the pockets, four revolver cartridges, seventy cents in cash, and a blank check of Dixon, Hicks & Company, merchants of Snow Hill. The body was at once prepared for burial. His remains were shipped to Snow Hill this afternoon."
