Fleming Memorial Cemetery, also known as Fleming Colored Cemetery, has served the area's African American community for more than 100 years. John M. Fleming originally buried his deceased slaves here and eventually deeded the land to trustees of the Colored cemetery. The land was later given to the Fleming Cemetery Association. One of the first persons buried here with a legible headstone was Rosanna Fleming, who died in 1888, and documented burials began that same year. In 1950, the Fleming Cemetery Club was organized to maintain the cemetery and provide a forum for families to pay respect to the deceased. Today, families and descendants of those buried here meet annually to maintain the cemetery.
