Ross Cemetery is a predominantly African-American cemetery, with many unmarked burials. It has endured years of neglect, but a Memorial Day effort in 2017 included headstone cleaning and general pickup. It does appear that the grounds are being maintained now by the adjacent Pecan Grove Memorial Park. As of this posting, the cemetery lacks signage, and can only be accessed through Pecan Grove until such time as the roadwork on Old Mill Road is complete.
Standing upon a concrete plinth and base, the headstone is about three feet tall. Once broken in half, it has been repaired, and the inscription is:
Eva Binkley
Was Born
Oct 11, 1881
Died May
11, 1900
In Heaven There
Is The Full
Ness of Joy
At Thy Right Hand
Pleasure Forever [M]
Perhaps the final "M" is spurious, perhaps it identifies the person who created the headstone. There is no inscription on the reverse.
Date of Birth: 10/11/1881
Date of Death: 5/11/1900
