This modern, gray, granite flat headstone was obviously placed at a much later date, maybe even recently, given its excellent condition. Enclosed in a black border is this text:
First Grave in Cemetery
Unknown Traveler
Died at Chas. Black Farm
Approx. Dec. 1860
The Internet and Findagrave are silent about this one. There is a Charles Black buried here, but he was thirteen in 1860. Perhaps this is another Charles Black, perhaps the name refers to the farm at a later date when he presumably inherited it. Interestingly, the second and third graves in the cemetery received similar treatment.
