Case# TT15HB
Location:
Adams and Rogers Cemetery (Bradenton, FL)
History:
Previously known as the Fogartyville Colored Cemetery, the four acres of Adams Cemetery was donated by William H. and Eliza Atzeroth Fogarty to the local community in 1896. The earliest marker is of Josephine P. Alston (1883 – 1901).
In 1922, once all of the burial plots were no longer vacant, an additional four acres, known as the Adams Section, was set aside for African American residents, for those unable to afford a proper burial, and it is still occasionally used today.
Named after Garfield and Minnie L. Rogers, Rogers Cemetery adjoins Adams Cemetery. Garfield was credited for not only spearheading local Civil Rights movement, but also established the school for African American students in Manatee County., while also recognizing the need for proper burials.
Both cemeteries came under the care of Manatee County in 1988.
