The following is a complete listing of the tombstones in Shedding Cemetery in Wayne County, NC.
Location: Approximately 3/10 mile southwest of True Vine Road on Wayne Memorial Drive, turn north on a farm road where there is a sign for Associated Parcel Service. Follow the farm road until you see the barracade across the path for the state property. There is a farm road that turns to the left on top of the hill. Take it around a ninety degree turn to the right and follow the path until you go through a little patch of woods on both sides of the road. Immediately there is a clearing on the right. Turn in beside the woods and go straight to the woods in front of you and the cemetery is in those woods.
