Located in Salisbury adjacent to the Rowan County Courthouse and a number of churches, this marker…read morepoints out the history of the cemetery that is just next to it. Marker L-71 reads, "Cornwallis' men buried here in 1781. Granted to city in 1770 by British government. Grave of Gov. John W. Ellis is here." The online essay has more information. "The land for what has come to be known as the Old English Cemetery in Salisbury was originally set aside for the town by the colonial assembly in 1770. The title for the "Burying Ground" was assigned to the town commissioners, one of whom was Thomas Frohock. Frohock donated the plot to the city upon his death in 1794. Over the ensuing decades the cemetery became the final resting place for generations of the leaders of Rowan County. Best known of those individuals was Gov. John Ellis (1820-1861), who died seven months into his term as the state's chief executive. The cemetery includes a number of unmarked British graves, those likely being the remains of soldiers in Cornwallis's army who died while in jail in Salisbury. Cornwallis's camp was situated on the property where the Rowan Public Library now stands and his soldiers used the old town well at the back of the library property. "The oldest grave in the cemetery is that of Col. Daniel Little who died on December 10, 1775. The cemetery was restored by the Pine Tree Garden Club of Salisbury in the 1960s. The Freedmen's Cemetery is separated from the Old English Cemetery by a stone wall. In recent years efforts have been mounted to memorialize those buried in the Freedmen's Cemetery and to repair the monuments in the Old English Cemetery."

They don't even deserve 1 star. I wasn't pleased with them with my daughters funeral in 2016 and…read morethought perhaps I wouldn't have liked anyone involved in having to bury my daughter. However, I recently had to deal with them again and awful, just awful. Instead of getting an answer to a question, Deanna got snippy and yelled when I asked about something that made no sense. They did not communicate with me at all after I paid them for a service and what they did was 100% unforgivable. Don't allow them to play any part in a loved ones funeral.

Words that define Lyerly: kindness, understanding and empathy, twined with sincerity with none of…read morethat fake obsequiousness you sometimes find in funeral homes. If one word was to define Lyerly Funeral Home and its staff it would be : genuine. Great flexibility in doing everything to accommodate the funeral the way you want it. Both Roger and Deana went above and beyond to make sure my father's ceremony was exactly what my mother and I wanted. Add to that Jim, the minister who conducted the service, and it turned a difficult moment in life into a special one, that we can look back on fondly. There was zero pushiness, no sales pitches...just a willingness to serve to make the occasion exactly what we wanted it to be. And all of this at a very reasonable price considering all the extra steps, perks and whatnot they offered to provide. They took care of everything, retrieval of the body, the paperwork, walked us through what will need to be done once we have received the death certificate., etc, etc. They even took the extra time to bring the flowers that were next to the coffin to our home. Words cannot adequately express how professional, kind and flexible Lyerly is in how they perform their services. They are able to turn an otherwise most difficult circumstance in life, into the best thing it can be. I can't thank them enough, and I can't recommend them enough.
