Today, a coordinated effort is underway to document the interments at the original Laurel Hill Cemetery, and to create a memorial to those buried there.
Laurel Cemetery is currently located at the intersection of Hodges Road and Lancaster Drive in Johnsville, Maryland about 20 miles west of Baltimore. Two 16-foot stone pillars mark the entrance and the graves are placed in rows off a central pathway.
The trustee was a man by the name of Edward A. Anderson who died in the 70s. The story of how the Laurel Cemetery came to be where it currently is can be found in "Flowers of the Forest: Black Genealogical Journal", 1984. A copy of it can be found at the Pratt library in Baltimore or by searching worldcat.org.
