Matthews Chapel church graveyard in the Rough Edge district of Talbot County, Georgia was established over 193 years ago. The church building itself dates back to 1833.
Joined by Mrs. Linda McCardle and Joy, we explore this historic graveyard for part one of a two-part series.
We walk the grounds documenting the graves of early settlers as well as documenting a separate section where enslaved people were buried. Most of them are marked only with simple fieldstones.
Preservation through documentation. That's why we do this work. We're out here recording these places and making sure these forgotten stories aren't lost.
Thanks for watching. See you in Part 2.
