Located in Salisbury adjacent to the Rowan County Courthouse and a number of churches, this marker…read morepoints out the history of the cemetery that is just next to it. Marker L-71 reads, "Cornwallis' men buried here in 1781. Granted to city in 1770 by British government. Grave of Gov. John W. Ellis is here." The online essay has more information. "The land for what has come to be known as the Old English Cemetery in Salisbury was originally set aside for the town by the colonial assembly in 1770. The title for the "Burying Ground" was assigned to the town commissioners, one of whom was Thomas Frohock. Frohock donated the plot to the city upon his death in 1794. Over the ensuing decades the cemetery became the final resting place for generations of the leaders of Rowan County. Best known of those individuals was Gov. John Ellis (1820-1861), who died seven months into his term as the state's chief executive. The cemetery includes a number of unmarked British graves, those likely being the remains of soldiers in Cornwallis's army who died while in jail in Salisbury. Cornwallis's camp was situated on the property where the Rowan Public Library now stands and his soldiers used the old town well at the back of the library property. "The oldest grave in the cemetery is that of Col. Daniel Little who died on December 10, 1775. The cemetery was restored by the Pine Tree Garden Club of Salisbury in the 1960s. The Freedmen's Cemetery is separated from the Old English Cemetery by a stone wall. In recent years efforts have been mounted to memorialize those buried in the Freedmen's Cemetery and to repair the monuments in the Old English Cemetery."

Heartfelt Gratitude for Harrisburg Funeral & Cremation…read more My sister, Debra, and I want to express our deepest gratitude to Harrisburg Funeral & Cremation for the compassionate care they provided for both of our parents. They took care of our father's cremation and final wishes in January 2022, and most recently, our mother's in October 2025. From the very beginning, they were extremely kind, understanding, and attentive to every detail with such care and love. Both Keshia and Tish were incredibly supportive throughout the entire process. They gave us time and space to grieve before taking our parents into their care, and the gentlemen who came to our home handled everything with dignity, sensitivity, and respect. Their shirts read, Heavenly Transport. What stood out most was that they guided us gently through each step with empathy, thoughtfulness, and honesty. We are especially grateful for the beautiful fingerprints they provided of our mother -- a keepsake we will cherish forever. Her box with the ashes turned out so beautiful too. See photo I uploaded. We are truly thankful for everything Harrisburg Funeral & Cremation has done for our family. Their compassion and professionalism made one of life's hardest moments a little easier to bear. -- Pamela & Debra
