Mississippi Roads | 1402 | All About the Dead: Historic Cemeteries | MPB

From Cedar Hill Cemetery in Vicksburg.
Featuring Friendship Cemetery in Columbus, Natchez City Cemetery and the Chapel of the Cross Cemetery in Madison County.
Cemeteries around the state are hallowed places that tell us a lot about our history, like Cedar Hill Cemetery in Vicksburg, one of the country’s oldest and largest cemeteries that’s still in use today. Then we head up to Friendship Cemetery in Columbus where our national Memorial Day holiday has its roots. Down Highway 61 in Natchez, many of the state’s first settlers found their resting places. Finally, the haunting story of Henry Vick at Chapel of the Cross in Madison County plays a central role in that area’s history.

9:49 in the background you can see the grave of Pvt. Nathaniel Wiseman. I visited his brother’s grave (his name was William Wiseman) in Edna, Texas. They both served in the 2nd Texas Infantry

I heard it was Black Women who started putting flowers on the graves of both soldiers from the north and south and that's what started Memorial Day.
