About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

The Edward Rich Cemetery lies in a small copse of trees. Be courteous when visiting as the cemetery is on private property and you have no alternative than to go onto the property to view the graves. On entering the property, the graves are located just past the white house and to the right.

Grave markers remain for only a few graves, but it is obvious that other remains rest here beneath the trees. The two most prominent of the marked graves belong to Edward Rich and Guilford Norris. Not only were they married to sisters, they were also soldiers and probably neighbors. It's suspected they were neighbors as they were listed consecutively in both the 1870 US Census and the 1880 US Census. In the 1870 US Census, Guilford's brother Andrew Norris was listed just before Guilford Norris.

The 1870 US Census referenced Rich and Norris as inhabitants of Colly Township, Bladen County, North Carolina with a post office named Little Sugar Loaf. The home of the inhabitants in the 1880 US Census was referenced as Cypress Creek Township, Bladen County with no post office listed.

Nowadays this location is referenced as Cypress Creek, Bladen County, North Carolina. The post office for those living here is in Garland, North Carolina. Garland is in Sampson County, North Carolina.
