Photograph Number - 25

 

Bellevue Cemetery.

The cemetery, incorporated in 1872, is located on Princess Place Drive (formerly the Old New Bern Road), west of Burnt Mill Creek, and contains about fifteen acres. The date of the first burial is unknown, but by April of 1878, there appears already to have been a number of interments. The photo is of the graves and monument of Charles William Stewart (1859-1925) and William Elmer Stewart (1901-1925), father and son, who were electrocuted the same day for murdering two prohibition officers, one of which was U.S. Marshal, Leon George. Inscription: "At Rest."
