Henson Cemetery is the black cemetery for this once-thriving Fayette County community. The white cemetery is across the street.
The most amazing tombstone we saw in either of these 2 cemeteries was located in humble Henson Cemetery, the "colored" cemetery, and it belonged to John L Burk, who died in 1907 at the age of 2.
We were not able to find out anything else about him on Ancestry or on Find-A-Grave.
His tombstone reads as follows:
"JOHN L. BURK
Bobn [sic] Mar. 8 1905
Died Nov 10, 1907"
Date of Birth: 8 Mar 1905
Date of Death: 10 Nov 1907
Material: Stone
