Black Cemetery, Geneva County AL

BLACK CITY CEMETERY is located in Black, Alabama, a rural town within Geneva county. In the 1980's the cemetery went through a complete restoration. Many of the graves that were unmarked were identified and new headstones placed on them. Mr. Phillip Durant Sr. built the brick entrance for the cemetery, placing a newspaper and coins in the structure dated at the time it was built (1910), for future generations. We would like to thank all of those within the community that have taken care of the cemetery with such enormous dedication! The cemetery was surveyed by Mr. & Mrs. J. R. Phipps in 1968.
