A Virtual Cemetery created by Larvette Wiggins-Turner

Old Pace Wiggins Cemetery

The ”Old Pace Wiggins Cemetery” is in Johnston County in Zebulon, NC. It is located south of the Five County Stadium on Highway 39, a quarter mile south of the railroad crossing. A few relatives started the journey of clearing 40+ years of growth (Brush, Vines, Sweet Gum Trees, Sticker Bushes, Ticks, and Red Bugs) on a very cold day on December 8th 2006. These few individuals had visited the site for many years to pay respect to their relatives buried at the cemetery.  Then during the summer of 2006 after a family reunion they visited the site. While visiting the site this time I Doug Lucas, Jr. (over age 40) grandson of Martha Wiggins (Buried at the Site) saw sadness on the face of Albert “Jake” Wiggins (my Great Uncle in his 70’s), Andrew Lucas (my Uncle in his 70’s), and Carolyn Wiggins Askew (my Cousin in her 60’s). At that very moment a spirit came over me to bring joy to these special people in my life while they are living, by joining together in unity to restore our families’ cemetery. We hope to bring a sense of dignity and honor to all who recognize that by our remembering our family that are buried there, and restoring the historic cemetery; WE ARE SAYING, “ALWAYS LOVED, NEVER FORGOTTEN”. “THEY WILL ALWAYS LIVE IN OUR HEARTS!”
