The Odd Fellows Cemetery was started in 1911 by the Twin City Lodge and the Winston Star Lodge, fraternal organizations no longer in existence. Plots were sold by W. P. Hairston, caretaker, who was one of the original stockholders and remained the sales agent until at least 1961. Mr. Hairston is believed to have retained the burial records though they cannot be found today. The cemetery later became the cemetery of the Odd Fellows Fraternal organization. The cemetery predates both Shorefair Drive and the fairgrounds. The graveyard shows as an L-shaped parcel labeled “colored cemetery” on a 1938 city map. It was in an undeveloped area located just west of Bon Air and Greenway Park which were white neighborhoods. 9,034 interments. Names shown in the photos include W. P. Hairston Family, Davis, Rev. R.
