The Erasmus Powe Family Cemetery was established around 1820 near the banks of the Pee Dee River in Cheraw, near what used to be the town railway station. In the early 1900's B. C. Moore & Sons Department Stores acquired the property surrounding the cemetery and constructed a buying, administration, and distribution warehouse for its 74 stores. The cemetery is located at the rear of the warehouse near the loading docks. Over the years the company has maintained the cemetery in good condition. In 2006 the department store chain was acquired by another corporation and the warehouse has been sold to the Town of Cheraw. The cemetery is visible from Hwy 9.
Update: As of August 2015 some of the old B. C. Moore buildings have been torn down. The cemetery, however, is still untouched and in good shape.
