Moses, Allen Chapel, Calvary Cemeteries

Walk the rows and the names carry the story. Allen Chapel's pastor says local churches pooled money for the land in 1880. Two of the oldest stones are George Anderson's and Alexander Miller's, Union soldiers in the United States Colored Infantry. Educator Cordelia M. Washington is buried here, and so is Hosea Hill, who ran the Sugar Bowl club and managed Eddie "Guitar Slim" Jones; Hill's grave lies beside Slim's, facing the club's site, which his niece says is deliberate. The cemetery had no name until the 1999 marker joined the three church names.
