Posted Oct 30, 2015
George Clarke, a former UNC student, was the first person to be buried in the Old Chapel Hill Cemetery in 1798. Now, all the plots in the nearly 7-acre Old Chapel Hill Cemetery are owned. Some of the people buried in the cemetery include Dean Smith, Paul Green, Charles Kuralt, deans, professors, university presidents, as well as veterans from the Civil War and WWII.
