This African American cemetery is now owned by Piney Grove Baptist Baptist Church. It is one of two that they own, and most church members are buried at their other one (Garden of Memory) that is farther down the road, across the railroad tracks.The pastor referred to this one as the Black Family Cemetery, and has shown maps identifying it as the property of Fernel Black before the church bought it at an auction that included other land and a house.

The cemetery is on Garden Grove Drive, on the left, just off of Indiana Ave.

PLEASE NOTE:
The people buried here are related to the Martin and Black families.

(Some memorials are created that belong to the church's Piney Grove Garden of Memory. Death certificates that say Piney Grove may refer to either cemetery, or to Pine/Piney Grove UMC Cemetery in Kernersville, which is not African American. This cemetery was a family cemetery before the church acquired it, and remaining spaces are reserved for their relatives... actually relatives of the Black family.)
