"The Alamance Gleaner" Graham, NC Thursday 10 Jun 1886

Graham, NC - Mr George B Haigh, died at his home at this place, about 6pm Tuesday, 1st inst, after an affliction of many months of a wasting sickness. His death was not unexpected.

He leaves a wife and a little girl, some two years old, to mourn the loss of a husband and father. Their numerous warm friends deeply sympathize with them in this sad dispensation.

The remains were buried in the Presyterian burying ground**

**HAWFIELDS (old) Hawfields Presbyterian Church and Cemetery were originally located several miles northeast of where the Church stands today.

Survey from the notes of Durward T. Stokes recorded with Mr. Ben M Rogers of Graham, NC on May 3, 1959.

The first Church burned and was rebuilt at the present location. The first cemetery was neglected for many years and even plowed into at one time. Recently the Hawfields Church, under the leadership of N N Fleming, Chairman of the Board of Deacons, has taken over the upkeep of this spot and cleaned it up. A stone marker was placed there in 1925. There is almost nothing there today to identify this spot as a cemetery except sunken places indicating graves, broken and scattered rock, and a few fragments of inscriptions. This was a large cemetery for it's day and many people are evidently buried here.
