History
Mount Moor Cemetery, a "Burying ground for Colored people," was deeded on July 7, 1849 by James Benson and Jane Benson, his wife, to trustees William H. Moore, Stephen Samuels, and Isaac Williams. The cemetery has provided burial space for colored people, including veterans of the Civil War, the Spanish-American War, World Wars I and II, and the Korean War. The grounds have been maintained since 1940 by the Mount Moor Cemetery Association, Inc.
