Mr. Brown told BLACK GOLD about some more
peoPle that are buried in the Old Macedonia
cemetery. He Said that the oldest person that
he could remember was Mr. Rip Gray. Mr. Brown
was a small boy then, and his parents wouldn't
let him go to the funerals.
Mr. Brown remembers most of the people by
their nicknames. One was Uncle Cripple Alex-
ander. When someone died, the family took care
of the dead body. They dressed them in their
best clothes. Mr. Brown stated, 'The only way
to keep records of the people that died was to
write them in their Bible, but we lost ours. "46
