The cemetery is located on land which once belonged to John and Anna Barbara Stevelie, who came to North Carolina from Switzerland. A portion of their plantation home still stands across the interstate from state property. When the School for the Deaf acquired the property in the late 1890's, it assumed stewardship of the graves of John and Anna Barbara Stevelie. Student Gideon King was buried on the campus when he died of pleurisy in 1897. There is some question as to whether he was actually interred beside the Stevelies. A turn-of-the century newspaper article suggests that the Stevelie graves were moved; there was certainly an exhumation. Now the five graves lie together between Joiner and Henderson Halls. Anyone wishing to visit the cemetery should stop by the NCSD museum for directions. Note: It is now known as the NCSD Cemetery.
