In Memoriam
Hyner Cemetery
established in 1898
marks the site of those devout, courageous Italian immigrants who came to America in 1895, settling & working at Sunnyside Plantation & throughout the Delta area. They established schools, churches, and entered into the life of our communities realizing the American dream of freedom, opportunity, & the pursuit of happiness. This was at the cost of great sacrifice.
These Italians struggled against exploitation & prejudice. Malaria epidemics killed many of them. Descendants of those noble immigrants still farm this land.
