The cemetery, in York, Pennsylvania, United States was the only one there in which African Americans were permitted to be buried before the 1960's.  Several of them are notable.

I don't know if there are profiles here for the ones that were specifically named in the article ... but there certainly should be.

Anna is now present, as is the cemetery!  [[Johnson-128866|Anna Johnson (1886-1969)]]

With thousands of "residents" to categorize, I'd say this one should keep us busy for awhile...

Answer 1

Thanks for posting the article, Gaile! I recognize a few of those names, so I know we have some of the profiles already. Now that they've found the headstones, it will be even easier to connect people to the cemetery.

Answer 2

Wow, what a fantastic article! Great find, Gaile, and thank you for sharing!
