[QUOTE="MikeC, post: 360641, member: 1604"] There's an old guy over in Mississippi I met one time that bought a place with a fairly large "Slave Cemetary" on it. He got interested in the geneaology of these slaves. Anyway, he was able to track some of the descendants down to let them know they had kinfolks on his land. They in turn found most every one else in the family, got together and started a donation fund to the owner every year and have a Family Reunion there. The old guy told me they gave him $8,000.00 one year for keeping the grass cut around the gravesite. Said they never give him less than $5,000.00 a year. Pretty good income from 1-2 acres. The old guy deserved it. He was a disabled vet just scrapping by. I always leave old graves wondering what it was like. [/QUOTE]
