Mrs. Maggie Barnes

Maggie’s beautiful gray marble headstone is now clean for all the see.

Please note that the term “colored” was used to describe various people of color pre 1960s medias. In no means being used to describe any ethnic minority groups of today. This is an obituary from 1897.
I have been rehabilitating the old segregated part of this cemetery for two years. Many more amazing people stories to come. #headstonecleaning #gravecleaning #cemetery #blackhistory #grave
