There is a small dirt road right off of Governor Richardson road between the towns of Summerton and Remini. This road, named Julia James road, is just like any other dirt road in the south. However, a short two miles in, at the back of a large field in a thicket of trees, lies a small graveyard. This graveyard, named “Friends and Family of The Spates Graveyard” by the relatives of those buried there, is hidden from view. A few of those relatives want to change this.
“My grandfather is buried somewhere out here,” said Ruthie Mae James Walker. “We can’t find where he is because it is so grown up.”
