> This burying ground at 4616 Long Road was made into a memorial
> park in 1962. In 1959 several lawsuits were filed against the City for
> allowing the cemetery to deteriorate. Individual stones had already been
> removed "through error and misunderstanding" but members of the Bridgeton
> Historical Commission were able to learn the names of some who were buried
> there and a large monument was erected in 1963 which bears this inscription,
> "We honor the people buried here. They were part of this nations adventure
> and their vision lighted the path we follow today." At the dedication
> ceremonies, Mrs. Anna Wilson gave a talk about colored veterans who are
> buried here. Records indicate that the cemetery was integrated from its
> beginning in 1858. It was in use as late as 1954 and at least 100 people are
> buried in the two acres. On the bronze plaque of the monument are the
> following names:

> Annie Adams Auston Edwards Enoch Mumps Edward Walker

I am forwarding this to the lists, as there is a possibility that some of the
relatives may be subscribed. If this doesn't apply to you, simply delete and
excuse me.
