From Supplement (p. 1)

A MT. OLIVET CEMETERY NOTE

            On page 11 of TOMBSTONE INSCRIPTIONS FROM BLACK CEMETERIES IN MADISON COUNTY, TENNESSEE the reading of the following tombstone was reported as:
JUDIA BOMAR
Born April 13, 1787
Died Mar. 25, 189(3?)

            Enhancement of the inscription reveals that the death year is definitely 1898.

            The birth-year inscribed on this tombstone is the earliest of any presently-known inscribed on a black person's tombstone in Madison County. The year is distinctly 1787. This is doubtless Judah-Judy-Judia Bomar, a native of South Carolina, who was living with her son, Henry Bomar and family, locally, as shown in the 1880 census. She and her daughter-in- law, Salina J. Bomar, bought a small acreage in 1889 and she also bought a lot on Tanyard Street in Jackson in 1895. (Madison County Deed Books 46, page 163;53, page 399; 62, page 382). Her reported age in the census of 1880 was 75, hence suggesting a birth-year of about 1805, so that the inscribed birth-year may have been innocently but definitely exaggerated. Even so, Judia Bomar evidently is the earliest-born black person who has a surviving tombstone in Madison County.

            Inscribed on the base of the tombstone is a verse, partially eradicated, but reading, in effect, "Sleep while in sorrow friends o'er thee weep. "
