By pure coincidence the three most famous Siamese Twins in the world are buried in the state of North Carolina. Outside Mt. Airy [in White Plains] is the grave of Chang and Eng Bunker. In Charlotte is Daisy and Violet Hilton. And in a small cemetery outside Whiteville is the grave of Millie Christine McCoy, a pair of former slaves who traveled the world as "The Two Headed Nightingale."
