First, I'm still typing up from the tapes of Saturday's and Sunday's visits so if you're checking, it's not up to date yet. Vanessa, I'm not sure if there are African American's buried in there yet. I've only completed one and one half sections of many sections and it was older graves. I do know there are Hispanic's buried there. When I go back I'll drive to the other side and see. Sometimes there are pictures on the headstones that I can look at to see what race they are. You probably know that the races were separated in death, with each being sectioned off from the other, some just with fences, some by distance. I've noticed this segregation changing but don't know exactly when it began. There are a couple of other cemeteries in the area, one being the Colorado Community Cemetery which is African American. So if I don't see any African American graves in Oak Hill, I can look at that one next though it would have been a long walk or wagon ride for those that died before the automobile came along. There is also Mt. Pleasant right out of Smithville (might be white) The Bunte Cemetery is behind Oak Hill and workers of the Bunte Family are buried there. I also haven't been to the Sweet Hill Cemetery which is African American and in Upton (10 miles SW from Smithville). I've rambled. I'll check when I go back Saturday.
