A recent conversation today 7/6/12 with granddaughter Carolyn Paradis reveals that Albert is buried off Hwy 55 in a family grave. Awaiting pics before I change burial place. Today 7/11/12 I received an email from a gentlemen from the Kellenberger Room at Craven County Library that he is buried at Brinson Family Cemetery along with spouse Clara Edwards. I today 7-21-2012 found documentation on the NC Digital Collection in the NC State Library on cemetery records that this cemetery was called Barrington Cemetery as well. He is transcribed in the Pamlico County Cemetery Survey Records as buried between Sidney Junell and Clara E. Ipock Roach.

UPDATE: 4-11-15, today I received an email from FaG contributor J.D. Larimore (#47030633), that Albert and spouse are in Brinson River Deep Cemetery and that they have photos of markers, GREAT NEWS. THANKS SO MUCH!!!
