List
This cemetery is (one of the few all Negro Cemeteries in the country), I was told by the lady who lives next
to it. They cut weeds to most of readable stones She also said some stones were pushed over and buried
several years ago She said it is known as the UNIONDALE CEM.
The Cem. is over grown with large trees and briars. I had found one stone 10 feet off the road sometime ago.
I was told later that there were more back in woods So I went to look

To Get there take RT 119 South to Morgantown Rd. Turn right You will see woods on left across the road
from Laurel Highlands Nursery ,go to edge of woods. Look along right side of woods as you face it Walk
back about 125 yards.

Next to road
William Ford----(you can only see about 6 inches of stone above weeds now.)
