Description
An inventory of plots at the Brooklyn Cemetery including names, dates, ages, and nearest relations,, The historic Brooklyn Cemetery was established by the Bethlehem Cemetery Society in 1882. It is the final resting place for many African Americans from Athens and surrounding communities. The people buried here were tradesmen of the period, farmers, preachers, teachers, and professionals in the service industry. They were servicemen, including veterans of World War I, World War II, and the Korean Conflict. They were mothers, fathers, infants, and children.... they are the shoulders on which we stand. We honor their memory by restoring a serene dignity to this sacred ground, their final resting place
