    Pest Camp Burial Grounds

    • Origin of name: death certificate of James Dickey
    • Location: about one mile east of Weimar, though the precise location is unknown
    • Earliest known year of death: 1918
    • Racial mix: all black
    • Comments: In April 1918, Weimar physician Adolph Hans Potthast diagnosed a case of smallpox on a farm near Borden. The sick man was identified as Ed Scott, and was a black man. Potthast and the county health officer, Josiah Hereford Payne, shortly established a quarantine camp, where other victims and potential victims were detained under round-the-clock guards. The camp, which was about one mile east of Weimar, became known as the pest house. For some reason, the two doctors did not feel that the disease was a threat to the white community, and all of the persons confined at the pest house were black. At least two people died of the disease. One certainly was buried on the grounds, and so apparently was the other. James Dickey's death certificate says that he was buried at the Pest Camp; Evan Scott's says that he died of smallpox and was buried near Weimar.

    The ladies of the Skull Creek neighborhood, this county, met last Sunday at the residence of Mr. N. R. Williams and organized a cemetery association by electing the following officers: Mrs. N. R. Williams, president; Mrs. Belle Clapp, vice-president; Miss Susie Bridge, secretary; Miss Nola Thomas, assistant secretary; Mrs. Nannie Clapp, treasurer; Miss Annie Ijams, corresponding secretary. The association has employed J. C. Slayton to attend to their cemetery, which is situated seven miles west of Columbus, and known to many as the old Skull Creek graveyard. We wish for the association much success in its noble work.
