Cherokee African American Cemetery | Leave Nothing But Carbon-Footprints

"The Cherokee African-American Cemetery was originally known as the Cherokee Chapel Graveyard. It was also known as Cherokee Colored Cemetery. The name may or may not indicate Cherokee heritage and could have been named so due to the Cherokee Creek that ran through or nearby the cemetery.

The land was at one time owned by Elijah J. Wollage. E. J. Wollage deeded 41 acres of land which include this 2 acre parcel to his former slave Mariah Wollage in 1867. There was a Chapel located at the front of the Cemetery known as Cherokee Chapel and it is indicated by a map of 1887. The locals of Huntington still remember the small Chapel and when the cemetery was fenced in. It was the burial place for slaves prior to emancipation and continues to be so for their descendants and for families that moved into the area to work in the coal mines."
