    3. Anne Lee Holder and I are gathering information on this cemetery right now. We have found it is not all African-American burials, as you mention. If anyone has information of burials, particularly where no stone is present, Anne and I would like to know. In the meanwhile, if you need a lookup, let me know, remembering that we only have about two hundred names at this time.

Growing up in Frankfort, I always thought this was a cemetery for African Americans. However, I have recently discovered some caucasian folks in my tree whose death certificates indicate they were buried in the Greenhill Cemetery (time frame 1935 - 1950's). Now, I'm wondering if these folks have grave markers and who they are buried next to (perhaps some clues on spouses, children, parents, etc). I would like to know some history on this cemetery. The only thing I have been able to learn on the internet is about the memorial in this cemetery to African American soldiers who participated in the Civil War (so I am assuming that this was a cemetery that existed during the Civil War?). Also, are there any records (listings, books, etc) of the burials in this cemetery? I'm hoping (dreaming?) for something like the wonderful, helpful books that I have on the Frankfort Cemetery. Are burials still being performed in this cemetery? Any contact information for the cemetery? ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to [email protected] with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
