Hi Jane,

It might be known as Frazier Cemetery. I make this note from a
website I found on Google:

Florida Black Heritage Trail--This includes Pleasant Hill Baptist
Church, built between 1895 and 1910, one of the oldest religious
buildings for African-Americans in the county. African-American
Frazier Cemetery, has graves dating to the early 1900's. For more
information on the Florida Black Heritage Trail, contact the Florida
Division of Historical Resources at (904) 487-2333.

Crystal River grew from a small fishing village before the Civil War,
to a center for milling cedar and cypress into pencils and other
products. When the railroad arrived in the late 1880s, it expanded the
lumbering industry, facilitating the export of fish and oysters. It
brought in northern tourists, touching off a boom in the construction
of hotels and inns. The 1920s saw a new type of visitor, the
"snowbirds" retreating from harsh winters. One group from Michigan
established its own colony, "Michigan Town," which exits today as a
part of Crystal River.

Hope that is the right one.

Dear List
I have recently discovered an old African American cemetary at the end
of Garden St.
here in Crystal River.
Several Brooks and Bunch families are buried
there.
Does anyone know it's name and history?
