Cemetery Good Enough for a Pauper

The cemetery wasn’t appropriate at one time, but it was good enough when the government needed a burial place for a pauper.

As you can also see from this document, Abojevi Zahwenu/Robert Antoine owed taxes on 5 properties which were forfeited to the crown after his death. His wife sold a piece of her own property to pay the back taxes. Thanks to her selfless act most of that property is still in the family’s hands today.
