There are quite a few graves in this cemetery that do not have headstones.
Inez Reynolds, a descendant of many of those buried in this cemetery was
responsible for putting many of the headstones up and the chain link fence
around this cemetery.  She told me before she died that there were several
slaves buried in this cemetery, but she did not know their names.  She put
stones up for everyone she remembered their names.
