In 2004 the young man who owned
the land where the cemetery is
located meant well and cleaned
the cemetery up. It was terribly
grown up and some of the markers
couldn't even be seen.
Problem is, he sprayed the undergrowth
to kill it and then set it on fire.
Several of the stones were completely
destroyed and a lot of them broke from
the heat. There were about 25 or 30
small field stones that marked the
graves of slaves. They are all gone.
