As someone already mentioned, the book Leisureville devotes several pages to this old cemetary. Interesting reading but I do wonder where the author got all his facts. If he is to be believed, it is a former "colored" cemetary (to use very old vernacular) which fell into disrepair. Accoding to him, when TV built in that area (Caroline), it was much cheaper to build around that old graveyard than it was to move the graves. Apparetnly, the Leisureville author "discovered" this cemetary one day, climbed the berm surrounding it, and found himself in Caroline with paved roads, a postal station, and not a single home (at that time).
