Floodwaters from Hurricane Floyd surround Tarboro North Carolina .
Princeville attaches to Tarboro and is on the way to Dixieland. It was founded by freed slaves after the War. My nephew took his motorboat to town from Dixieland and he has a photo of the boat going under a red light which was only a few
feet above his head.

Caskets from our field hand graveyard at Dixieland floated down the road!
Members of the National Disaster Mortuary Operational Response Team and the U.S. Public Health Service began the task of re-interning caskets and vaults that were damaged after floodwaters from hurricane Floyd raged through the Princeville Community Cemetery in Princeville.
