Here are laid to rest millionaires and paupers, saints and scallywags. On the tour we will tell stories of triumph, tragedy, fame, and misfortune – all in one of Durham’s loveliest open spaces. On Saturday, Preservation Durham will lead interesting walks in the oldest part of the cemetery. We will talk about the Dukes, of course – the rich ones and the poor ones, but we will cover so much more. Hear about the boy who was killed by a lion, about Gill Cates, the first Durham police officer killed in the line of duty, and about Mary Dowd Walker, the reformer who was North Carolina’s first woman judge. Learn about Ritta Geer, the first African-American buried in the formerly all-white cemetery and about Pauli Murray’s fight to tear down the fence that once separated Maplewood from her family’s cemetery next door. We will visit the beautiful Hebrew Cemetery and the grave of Nurse Thompson, gentle heroine of the Spanish Flu. We will discuss who shot Major Lloyd and the tragedy of Ora Johnson’s false teeth.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Bookman Old Style",serif;mso-ligatures:none'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Bookman Old Style",serif;mso-ligatures:none'>There will be three tours operating continuously all day.
