Union Cemetery
|
|
This African American Cemetery is
located on road 274
near Ravenna. It is beautiful and
well kept and still in use.
Union Cemetery was named for
the Union Church .
The Union of two churches,Siloam
Baptist Church and
Belfountain. It has been in use since
the time of the cotton
plantations nearby.
I was taken on tour by a lovely
lady of 94 who described
the log enclosures that used
to be in the middle of the
cemetery surrounding the oldest
graves. Where she played
as a child. This was Pauline Topsy.
She added information to
this file.
