"Ramblin Rose"
This
cemetery is located on a small hill. On one side of the hill there are
many
graves
which have been restored or well tended; I was told by a black man, who
was working in the cemetery, that this side is primarily black.
He
said the white cemetery was on the other side of the hill. Here there are
fewer graves and they also have been restored or well tended.
I asked this man about the graves I had found on the top of the hill which
were overgrown and almost hidden from view in the trees; he was unaware
of these graves.
This
is only a partial listing of graves;
I
copied the information that time allowed.
I
will list first the graves I found hidden from view on the top of the hill.
