We've long had a tradition of visiting Freeman Cemetery to share stories about those buried there, as well as about the lives they led in the surrounding community and those who traveled far from this starting point. This page serves as a collection point for just a few of those stories, poems, and historical information related to the area and to those who lived and still live here. They are created by a variety of ancestors and members of the community.
