Massies Creek and Cherry Grove cemeteries represent over two centuries of heritage and pride in a community that flourished from the early nineteenth century to the present. Massies Creek and Cherry Grove cemeteries are essential to understanding the history of Greene County’s African American community. Massies Creek and Cherry Grove cemeteries are the final resting place of numerous bishops, church leaders, university presidents, educators, successful businessmen, politicians, and other figures that have made an impact locally, regionally, and nationally. Massies Creek and Cherry Grove Cemeteries: A Reflection of Greene County’s African American Community and Their Contributions to the World uncovers the vital importance of Massie’s Creek and Cherry Grove Cemeteries as reflections of the community that they served by reviewing the history of the county, especially its African American community. The thesis also unveils facts about the prominent African Americans buried in the two cemeteries and how they were pivotal to Americans, particularly African Americans, in Ohio and throughout the nation. The thesis explicates what makes these cemeteries, and the communities around them, an anomaly. In addition, Massies Creek and Cherry Grove Cemeteries: A Reflection of Greene County’s African American Community and Their Contributions to the World examines how and why these phenomenal leaders made these two cemeteries their final resting places.
