    3. For a change, here's a cemetery story with a happy ending. >From the Mason County, Kentucky list: Another African-American Research Success Story: Just two years after beginning this research into my ancestral history, I finally found the resting place of those who did not migrate to the North. Many of my ancestors were buried at Mt. Tabor Baptist cemetery in Mason County, Kentucky. However like most black southern institutions that were affected by out migration to the North, Mt. Tabor Church closed and the cemetery was left in disrepair and finally became a wooden area. Sixty years later, I have purchased the .5 acre property for $50 and plan to rebuild the cemetery back into operating condition. Keep researching and restoring our history!
