African American Cemetery. Located on Fitten Street, at the end of Johns Road in the Sand Hills Historic Neighborhood. It is believed twelve African American area residents purchased 3.15 acres of land in 1906 for a black cemetery. Burials are still held here, although infrequent.
On April 21, 1998, Augusta-Richmond County assumed general maintenance of the Summerville Cemetery on Fitten Street at no cost to the city, after numerous complaints by area residents about overgrown brush. The perpetual care fund established by the original members no longer exists.
The location of the record book for this cemetery is unknown or possibly non-existent. If anyone possesses knowledge of the whereabouts of the Summerville Colored Cemetery sexton record book or record of interments book, please contact the office of Magnolia Cemetery, Augusta GA at 706.821.1746
