A red clay Negro cemetery. No attempts to lay out crops. The graves are in rows with narrow spaces between. This cemetery was a solid expanse of red clay washed by the rains. Even the gravestones are colored by the red clay beaten against them by rain On such markers as are cut there was misspelling such as "bon" for "born" and "die such and such atime, twenty one ears." Bethel Hill High School, Person County, North Carolina
