Was a mother buried here?
We will never know, but today we remember and honor all the mothers buried in Vick, Odd Fellows, and Rountree Cemeteries, and vow to continue the search for all lost graves in these grounds.

Literally.
I’m spreading my wings! I’ve spoken often here of the admirable work Iredell County Public Library is doing with Statesville’s Green Street Cemetery — their community outreach across the board is top tier! — and I’m excited to share my family’s connections to this historic burial ground.
If you know folk in or around Iredell County, please spread the word!
Help us finish Season 3 strong! There are thousands buried at Vick, but hundreds at Odd Fellows, too.
Honor Dr. King and the ancestors! We need your hands, your heart, or both Saturday morning as we return to Odd Fellows Cemetery for Season 3 of our clean-up! All are welcome — there’s work for every ability!
We’ve done so much in two years. Y’all ready for Season 3??
