Humble and homey Henson Cemetery is located next to Pitman Cemetery down Muldoon Cemetery Road. Dating from the times when black and white people in the same communities did not mix, these two segregated cemeteries maintain that separation, even in death.

The day Blasterz were there, we estimated there are around 250 people buried at Henson Cemetery.
