The Frogtown cemetery is also called the
African American Methodist Church Cemetery. Perhaps it was
also called the Curtis
Cemetery at times.
To
reach this cemetery, take the Old State Road to where the road arcs at
the top. It is a couple of blocks to the south of State Road, up the
farm lane. The cemetery starts about a block back into the woods, there
is no electric fence if you enter the area from the side at this point,
but watch the barbed wire if you enter at the "gulley". It's about an
acre in size and the stones are dotted throughout. The area is
overgrown and there could be more stones that were hiding in the
weeds/lillies.
