This photograph of a cemetery comes from Martha Jones of the University of Michigan. You may recall Martha's contributed a few trivia questions before — one for monuments and another of a courthouse. She also answers trivia questions around these parts. I can't tell how hard this is going to be given the hints built into the picture.

I haven't really followed this series, but is this a guessing game? I think I know where this might be if it is.
Yes, breh, I'm asking where the cemetery is. Answers most welcome.
Woodside, CA?
Actually, having now Googled it, I'm not so sure.
Hi No, breh — very interesting guess. There is a Union Cemetery in Woodside & it looks like a place I'd like to visit. This is another Union Cemetery — I'm guessing there may be a few of those around the country founded in the 1880s. This is in a place you might not think of as a prime candidate for a "Union" cemetery (though then again, there are US cemeteries with United States war dead all over the south).
Anyone want a better hint?
I think it is the Union Cemetary in Greensboro. Tricky, this one.
You got it, Joel. Yes, tricky. It's an African American cemetery — bet there's a really interesting story here, which Martha may fill us in on.
I saw that. I have to confess I had no idea about this one, just got it from your clue and a bit of sleuthing in Google Images.
