Add PhotosFreeland Young remembers Mr. Brown, an elderly black man who visited the cemetery when he walked through the farm to his home in Oak Grove. In about 1939 or 1940, Mr. Brown explained to Freeland that his parents, who had been slaves on the plantation, were buried in the Slave Cemetery. He took the boy to the cemetery and showed him where his parents were buried. Mr. Brown told Freeland that his brother, although never a slave, was also buried there, because he wanted to be near their parents in the plantation cemetery.
