Hello Pamela, thank you very much for for response which is most helpful. I was in touch with the volunteers at the Gen. Soc. of Iredell County and I was also given this information:
Regarding Old County Home Burials:
According to a newspaper article in our files, the old home was closed in 1963.
When Bernhardt Industries bought the property to build a plant in Iredell County,
the graves in the cemetery were moved to the Old St. Paul Cemetery on the
Salisbury Rd. As I mentioned in our conversation, the cemetery is near Gordon;
Iron and Metal Company. To reach it, exit 49 B off Interstate 77. I do not remember exactly
where the drive enters the cemetery; however, you should be able to get directions
from someone there. Gordon's phone number is 704-873-9004
You might also call the present location of St. Paul's at 1950 Salisbury High-
way, Phone 704-872-2547. The Archives may have information about the graves
that were moved, or at least, give you additional information about markers if any.

PS I think that Bernhardt may have closed. I don't know who operates it now.
Do you think we are talking about the same area. I doubt that Henty Miller has a tombstone at the old county cemetery if he died at the county home, But who knows, I may get lucky when I find the cemetery.
Thanks, James
