Gospel Pilgrim Cemetery

Gospel Pilgrim Cemetery was founded in 1882 as a cemetery for African Americans〔Official website〕 in the 216th general militia district, Athens, Georgia area.〔Weeks, 1999〕 Nine acres in size, it contains an estimated 3500, mostly unmarked, graves.〔Hester, 2012〕 The Gospel Pilgrim Society, which founded the cemetery, was "a social and charitable burial insurance organization".〔Athens Convention and Visitors Bureau〕
The site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2006.〔NHRP in Clarke County, Georgia〕
By 2006 the University of Georgia's New Media Institute, in hopes of attracting visitors to the site, had set up a local phone number that visitors could dial to hear descriptions of the cemetery's history and commentary by Rev. Archibald Killian, a local expert on black history.〔Diverse: Issues in Higher Education〕
==Gospel Pilgrim Society==
Social and charitable lodges became very popular during the period after the Civil War. By 1912, the African-American community had eight orders - including the Gospel Pilgrims - with a total of 29 lodges in Athens, Georgia. The membership of these lodges totaled about 2500 people that year, "or about 75 percent of the adult black population of Athens".〔Thurmond, 2000, 44〕 The origin of the name, "Gospel Pilgrim", is unknown.〔Hester, February 2004, 11〕〔Hester, Fall 2004, 36〕
