Second Asbury (Zion) African Methodist Episcopoal (AME) Church and Cemetery
aka, Old Slaves Burying Ground/Cherry Lane or Colored Cemetery
From Lynn Rogers at FACSI:
Upon reviewing old files held by Friends of Abandoned Cemeteries I came across
the following burial records for the obliterated cemetery, known as the Second
Asbury (Zion) African Methodist Episcopal (AME) Church and Cemetery aka, Old
Slaves Burying Ground/Cherry Lane or Colored Cemetery that once stood at the
corner of Forest Avenue @ North Avenue. The site is now a shopping center. A
bank stands on the property.
Many, many thanks to FACSI and Lynn for the information! Please follow the links at bottom to find out more about FACSI.
