I assume no other segregated graves were close to the white cemetery. - Lighter

We found only one. I don't suppose that I would have spotted it, but Ted Urquhart, a cemetery expert, did. To his practiced eye, it has the right kind of appearance, a shallow sunken trough about 15 inches wide and 3-4 feet in length. It is oriented in the same direction as the graves within the fence. We found no marker at all for the "outside" grave, while many (perhaps all) of the unidentified graves inside the fence are marked by blank stones.
