grave candle

We ate together there in the night, the moon and the grave candles giving us wan light.

My compan- ion was on her knees, staring out over that land of bar- rows lighted with their thin and scarcely discernible grave candles.

She married Philmore Graves and owned Graves Candle Shop as well as J.B. Cole Pottery (now closed), which was located south of Seagrove in Moore County near the Randolph & Montgomery County lines.

She died in the late 1990s and was buried in the old Fairgrove Church Cemetery behind Graves Candle Shop, now Holly Hill Pottery (owned by a Cole protégé Richard Gillson) located along NC Highway 705 about one mile south of the Seagrove Town limits.
