Several Richland County community groups arecompleting plans for nature trail projects that wouldspan Northeast Richland down to the CongareeRiver.
Six groups, with a total of $50,000 in grants from
the Conservation Commission, are working on trailsystems to open green space for recreation and con-servation.
The efforts align with county goals to expandgreenways.
In Northeast Richland, for example, the Wilde-Wood Homeowners Association is eyeing land be-tween Polo Road and Sparkleberry Lane.JohnPressly, association vice president, said the futureJackson Creek Greenway will provide residents witha leisure walking area and provide space for schoollaboratories, among other things.
“There’s just a lot of building, and we just
thought it would be nice to have green space,” hesaid. “It’s the whole idea of kind of tweaking up theneighborhood and making it look nice.”
His group, which represents WildeWood sectionsI-IV, received $10,000 from the Conservation Com-mission and recently hired a consultant to deter-mine feasibility for such a project on the site.
The association also would need property own-ers in the potential area to help make the greenwayhappen.
Pressly said homeowners got the idea after at-

Bringing together members ofher family to honor their an-cestors was an important part
of Coley Washington’s family re-union this year.
When Washington, an 88-year-old mother of three and Columbianative, was helping to plan the 14thfamily reunion for the Epps-Mackfamilies, she decided she would takeher relatives to a cemetery wheremany of their ancestors had beenlaid to rest.
Located in the woods behind theWestinghouse Nuclear Fuel site onBluff Road is The Denley Cemetery.The cemetery is the resting place ofabout 20 of her ancestors includingher grandfather and grandmother,Cradus and Wennie Mack, and heruncle, Nicodemus Epps. Washing-ton recalls attending funerals thereas a child.
It also contains the graves of

FAMILYREUNION
It’s summer,and that meansit’s time for a fa-vorite Southerntradition: familyreunions.
If you’ve hada gathering inRichland Countythis summer,send us a photo-graph and detailsabout your event.We will publish itin a future edi-tion of Neigh-bors.
Above, family membersgather around a monumentto their ancestors buried atthe Denley Cemetery. Left,

many black slaves.But Washington feared the
cemetery had been lost after West-inghouse began to build its plantthere in the 1960s.
“The cemetery was built in theearly 1800s and hunters rediscov-ered it in the 1840s,” Washingtonsaid. “I didn’t (rediscover) thecemetery was still there until aboutthree years ago and Westinghousehas cleaned it up in the past fewmonths.”
The company has removedmuch of the debris and erected afence around the cemetery.
Washington and other relativesgathered at the cemetery last Sat-urday. During a short ceremony,family members sang “When theSaints Go Marching In,” recitedthe names of family members whohad died recently and listened toa speech of family legacy.
After the ceremony, the familiesspent about 30 minutes walkingaround the cemetery on their own.
“There are about 138 marked
graves in the cemetery, but there’sthe possibility that more are undis-covered,” Washington said.
Only about 10 original head-stones remain scattered among thetrees. The original headstones arechipped and weather-worn and areengraved with dates of death fromnearly 100 years ago.
Washington said the other bod-ies were found using X-rays andwere marked with small, rectan-gular marble headstones engravedwith crosses.
The cemetery originally beganas a burial place for slaves butgrew to include their descendants.
Shaunise Washington, ColeyWashington’s daughter-in-law andone of the roughly 70 family mem-bers at the reunion, felt it was im-portant for the younger genera-tions to share in the experience.
“Since many of them are soyoung, they may not appreciate theimportance of this site, but I’msure they will as they grow older,”Shaunise Washington said.
She also felt it was importantto show those involved just howfar-reaching their legacy was.
“I believe there are five past
generations buried at the ceme-tery,” Washington said. “I think it’simpressive to see how large ourfamily is.”
As the families continue to ex-pand, Washington hopes that vis-its to the cemetery will become atradition during future reunions.
“There’s a lot of family historyat that cemetery,” she said. “I hopethat future generations will con-tinue to visit and appreciate theirancestors like we did today.”
