HILL STREET CEMETERY This is a black cemetery which must have been the primary burial ground for blacks in the Linden area for years. In a photograph the cemetery looks empty because there are only a few permanent carved markers, but a walk in the cemetery quickly reveals that there is almost no area within the cemetery without evidence of burials. Most of the markers recorded circa 1989 and on a 1999 visit lie around the periphery of the cemetery. The center is full. David Donahue recorded this cemetery circa 1991; revisited it May 1, 1999; and updated it August 13, 2004. There may be 200 or more burials here. The May 1999 view at left is made standing near the Danny Lee Yarbro grave and looking east the full length of the cemetery. While the view reveals few markers, the area is shown is almost solidly filled with burials. The cemetery is full. |
