The following is a complete listing of the tombstones in the James Melvin Cemetery in Sampson County, NC.
Location off of Boykin Bridge Rd, on the right if you are traveling toward the county line, just prior to reaching the Prestage P12/19 complex road on the left where the Stephen Melvin Cemetery is located. This road is not gated, and after you travel about 20-30 yards off of the road, you will see the two tombstones on the left just as you enter a slight curve to the right. They are in some trees, but just on the other side is an open field.
