This stone tells a story

S. Ellen Jones Elementary teacher Mickey Hicks, surrounded by fourth- and fifth-graders, discusses the gravestone of a woman who died in 1861 on Wednesday morning at Freedomland Cemetery, located along Paoli Pike in New Albany. The cemetery is on of the oldest black cemeteries in Indiana. As part of an ongoing service project, students from the school spent the day planting flowers and cleaning up pathways throughout the cemetery. (Staff photo by Kevin McGloshen)
