There are not many standing chimneys in the Uwharrie National Forest but here is one along Flint Hill Rd. I've seen it before but not checked it out. Today, I investigated. It did not have Yucca nor daffodils. It did have a standing chimney and a chimney fall which would have meant this home was large with two chimneys.
Chimney fall
This was the interesting part, a grave for two children. Peggy and George Hamilton died one day apart.
Gorge A Hamilton was bornd on the 10 May 1836 and died on the 14th of December 1843 aged 7 years 8 months and 4 days Peggy Hamilton was bord on the 24th of December 1841 and died o the 15th of 1843 Aged 1 year 1 month and 15 days.
My guess is that they both had some illness which killed them.
At camp 8 there is same Yucca and a wolf tree in the background.
Joe Moffitt placed these metal markers at all of his camps on the Uwharrie Trail.
Diana Woodell's grave on Poison Fork. I assume her name was Diana not Dania as the stone is inscribed.
