Has anyone heard that there are grave sites paved over in Eastview Cemetery
in Newton?
My aunt believes that her grandmother was buried in Eastview sometime after
1930 and that her gravesite, being unmarked, was paved over?

The woman in question was Martha Wood Cox who is presumed to have died at
Broughton Hospital and then buried at Eastview. I'm having trouble with this for
these reasons:
1. If a person died at Broughton why would they be buried in Eastview? Her
son Caleb Hamilton Cox was living in Newton after the 1920's.
2. She was married to William Cox who lived in either Rowan or Cabarrus
County.
3. Could a road be built over gravesites?


Thanks for any suggestions. I know I stirred things up and started a great
discussion of Martin Hollar the other day.

Sincerely,
Cynthia Bolick Gilbert
