The Lincoln Heights cemetery is a reminder of past segregation . According to a story told by Danny Piggee to James Langford, a new cemetery was established for the Blacks in 1924 after a Black man had to be buried in Winema Cemetery because there wasn't any place else to bury him. Today there are at least two Black families buried in the Winema Cemetery and many Weed Blacks are buried in the non-segregated Mount Shasta Cemetery. The Lincoln Heights cemetery was forested until 1974 when International Paper decided to log the small plot. After logging was completed, they donated the land to the cemetery association.
Several graves list Louisiana and Mississippi as the deceased's state of birth.
The Lincoln Heights cemetery is a beautiful little cemetery with over 100 graves dating from 1924 to 1996. If you look closely at the gravestones in the cemetery you will find that certain symbols are fairly common.
