It has been a year or so since I read "Leisureville" but, as I remember it, the previous statements in this thread are true regard what was put forth in the book. The cemetery (graveyard) is part of a former African-American community called "Negrotown." Unfortunately I don't remember the dates of this village and it would seem very possible that the cemetery would be tended by decendants of those with ties to that community. The few pages in the book made me very curious about this piece of history and I hope to look into it deeper when we finally move to TV. I expect there are local historians to be found and of course, the library probably has useful material too.
