Headstone Blues Initiative - Bo Carter

Since 1989, the Mt. Zion Memorial Fund has erected memorials for Robert Johnson, Charley Patton, "Big" Joe Williams, and Sam Chatmon, among others, and fought to maintain abandoned cemeteries in Mississippi. We have cleared all roadblocks to marking the grave of Armenter Chatmon, aka Bo Carter, of the Mississippi Sheiks. Buried in Nitta Yuma Cemetery near Panther Burn, his unmarked grave is the target our most recent Headstone Blues Initiative.

HUMAN REMAINS UNEARTHED DURING DIG IN SOUTH CAROLINA

SITE OF BURIED REMAINS 

GREENVILLE, SC (WSPA) – A communication tower repair company unearthed human remains near a tower on Hilly St. in Greenville, South Carolina on Monday 11/21/16.

The crew was digging with a backhoe and found a skull, a portion of a jawbone and an apparent radius bone. They say the remains had been there for a while. They think the area where the bones were found was an unmarked grave site that was once a part of Richland Cemetery.

As the cemetery and surrounding streets were developed, the area in question became segmented from what now visually marks the borders of the cemetery, according to investigators. They say the information was obtained from past records, former City of Greenville employees, area residents and an historical cemetery specialist. Greenville Police Investigators have determined that this discovery is not related to homicide and there is no evidence of a crime having been committed. At the point where the Greenville County Coroner and forensic anthropologist complete their analysis of the remains, they will be reinterred.
