There is no need to cross any fences or man made boundaries onto private property so please respect the neighboring muggles.
We have really enjoyed the History lessons & everything we learned during this little adventure. Hopefully you'll enjoy it just as much.
When here it's easy to see why few people would know that there are two cemeteries across the street & just to the north.
The following was quoted from: http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=cr&CRid=2406784
"Some of the common family names:
Stirman, Rohrer, Cockerel, Morehead, Mallary, York, Durham, Lewis, Thompson, Stegall and Ray.
There was also a settlement of blacks in the Big Rock Area. In the early years they had their own school, lodge, and churches and would have a barbecue each year on June 19. Jim Abrams prepared the barbecue by cooking it all night in a pit he would prepare. They would invite both whites and blacks to these affairs.
Their cemetery is at the foot of Big Rock cemetery with tombstones dating back to the early 1870s.
Some of the early black settlers were –
Abrams, Smith, Brookins, Bowman, Dixon, Brown, Tarkenton, Polk and Garrett."
