Greenwood Cemetery. Recording compared to J. Robert Swank's 1967 records. Greenwood and Ames Negro Methodist Church Cemetery are now one cemetery.
Cemetery Notes
Cemetery is well-maintained. At one time a fence separated Greenwood Cemetery and the Ames Negro Methodist Church Cemetery. The fence was removed 10 to 15 years ago and the two cemeteries were combined into one cemetery enclosed by a fence. In 1967 J. Robert Swank recorded them as two cemeteries. In the "Remarks" column, the graves that were in the Ames Negro Methodist Church Cemetery in 1967 are noted as such. There are many unmarked graves and there are many sunken graves and markers. There are also markers not in the right place. In 1967 Mr. Swank noted, "There probably are more unmarked graves than those with named markers."
