If you have never been, and you are in the area, I recommend taking time.
7 hours represents the youngest person buried within the cemetery.
The monolith was ever present at each prominent family plot within the cemetery.
The Overton clan represented the largest family burial I came across, while McCann simply had a different take on the monolith.
J.W. Carlton had perhaps the most eloquent epithet, "Death is the crown of life." Nicely put. To the left of Mr. Carlton represents the readability of most markers within the cemetery. Beautifully crafted yet desecrated by time.
James and Eva were not close in proximity, nor any other measure I could discern. But I liked them both, and in that regard, I am presenting them together.
Davis Wright is the illegitimate child of Winfield Wright, and he was designated as such by not only his placement within the family plot, but by the words, "Colored Boy."
And flowers. Everyone loves flowers.
