On may 17, 1923 many residents of the Charlotte-Thompson community outside of Camden, S.C. gathered at the Cleveland School for a student play. There was a fire which quickly raged out of control and 80 died. 13 bodies were claimed, but the rest were, for all intents and purposes, unidentifiable and these 67 were buried in this mass grave.
My stepfather and baby brother are also buried in this cemetery at the Beulah Methodist Church.
