    1. Re: Bristol Cemetaries/ Citizens Cemetery
    2. One of the e-mails had a cemetery called Flat Hollow Cemetery which was a slave cemetey in the mid 1830's in a place known as Flat Hollow. Slaves from the Susong and King family were buried there and after the Civil War it become a burying ground for the Black population of Bristol, Va. The Bristol Land Company purchased the land and offered the Colored Cemetery Association land at what is now called Citizens Cemetery and the offer accepted and the bodies moved from Flat Hollow to Citizens Cemetery.
