When the Old Settler’s Cemetery in Uptown Charlotte, NC, ran out of space in 1853, the city purchased the first of several tracts of land totaling 100 acres for a new municipal cemetery. Given race relations of that era, the property developed as three distinct but adjacent cemeteries: Elmwood (for the burial of White persons), Pinewood (for the burial of Black persons), and Potter’s Field (for the burial of White paupers). This composition is from the Elmwood section, shot with during a photo-walk with my niece.
Cheers,
C. S.

Love this, C.S.!
