It has not been maintained for a while but is not in bad shape. While we were visiting this cemetery a gentleman that lives next door came over and introduced him self as Mr. Bruce. Mr. Bruce is an elderly African American gentleman and he said he was 70 years old and he just moved in next door with his uncle, another Mr. Bruce who is in his 90's, because the Older Mr. Bruce needed someone to care for him so he moved back here from Detroit. Mr. Bruce said the cemetery consists of all his family and had been buried here for 100 years. He walked all around the cemetery and showed us the graves of his sisters, brothers, aunts and uncles and said his parents were also buried in some of the unmarked graves. He also gave a little "gossip" on each grave we came to and we spent over 2 hours talking with him and he hopes that some family members will read this and come and visit! He has also hired help to come and help him begin the clean up of his family cemetery. ALLEN, Sister Minnie, b. Oct 14 1911 d. Sep 26 1969 ARMSTEAD, Clara Daniels, b. Jul 10 1892 d.
