The Negro Cemetery

&
The Grave of Morgan Rankin, Born May 2, 1862, Died June 25, 1927
Memories
I read your information about the Negro Cemetery in Dunlap, and that the only name found was for Morgan Rankin. Morgan and his wife Sally used to live near my parents in the 1920s, and I remember my mother telling about Sally coming to visit her. If the radio was on, Sally would get up and dance. She told my mother, "don't tell Morgan, he'll whip me". They were obviously religious people, and believed that dancing was sinful. Just a little something I remember from my childhood.
