Black burials at Blair's Chapel Cemetery lies in two major sections, a western section (its older) and an eastern section, separated by a kudzu-infested ravine. Kudzu is making inroads into both sections of the cemetery. There are many unmarked graves here but their exact number is difficult to estimate. In 1995 Jonathan Smith noted "judging from grave mounds and sunken graves here there are likely several hundred unmarked graves; numerous funeral home markers no longer have information on their panels." These are simply not there in 2003. The cemetery may have been gone over with a bobcat or bulldozer both to level the surface (making use of a riding mower easier) and to help control kudzu.
