Marker Text: |
In the 1850s, a
group of pioneer Black slaves came to this area from
Union County, Arkansas, and founded what is now known as
the Rocky Hollow Community. This cemetery soon was
established on land given by Thomas P. Chapman. Although
it was used before the Civil War began, the first marked
grave, that of Confederate veteran William Bacon Tucker,
is dated 1865. Known in earlier times as Bullion and as
Little Arkansas, Rocky Hollow Cemetery continues to be
maintained by descendants of the community's founders
and of many ex-slaves. (1984) |
