Glenwood African American Cemetery
Glenwood, Volusia Co., Fla.

This cemetery is at the end of West Church St. off Glenwood Rd. It is overgrown and has been heavily vandalized.
It is evident there are more burials there than I have listed.
Someone has been clearing and numerous headstones are broken and have been moved from the burial location.
It is a black cemetery located at the end of a dirt road and has been neglected for some time. 
I had to call Wilson Funeral Home in Tampa and have them look up Earnest Humphrey's record to 
find the name of the cemetery and it is listed as the Glenwood Cemetery on their records.
