The oral history on the cemetery is that an ex-slave by the name of Aunt Jew-lan (I have absolutely no idea how to spell it. I am spelling it by sound.) gave the land for the cemetery with the stipulation that African Americans and Whites be buried there. The city of Cairo owns it and still cares for it. Unfortunately, they didn't start keeping a record of who was buried there until the last two years. List of African Americans who purchased plots in the Cairo Cemetery, Cairo, Georgia. The list was obtained from the Cairo City Hall November, 2000. When the list was complied is unknown. City Hall was also unaware of exactly who was buried in these plots or the number of plots purchased by each individual. Ad Adams, my grandfather purchased plot number 93. My mother's twin brother was buried there in the 1920s, so it is a good guess this list dates back to at least the 1920s. C. Killens ckillens@iname.com "Colored" 93. Adams, Ad 66. Alexander, Alay 61.
