Ami Cemetery

Ami Cemetery sits along Jamestown Road, an old secondary route that runs west from Menlo toward the Georgia-Alabama line near Blanche in Cherokee County, Alabama. The roughly three-acre burial ground is split into two parts divided by a small wooded creek, and the smaller eastern section is traditionally said to have been reserved for Black burials, a reflection of the segregated customs of its era. Upkeep has long been handled largely on a family-by-family basis, leaving some plots tended and others reclaimed by vegetation.
