"Legend of the Rocking Chair"


The dates on the tomb are 1787-1839. Legend has it Zilpha Inman was supposedly entombed sitting in her rocking chair. Unfortunately vandals have tried to open it many times over the years to see if it's true, and the grave is now in disrepair, held together with iron bars to keep it from crumbling. Located in an old cemetery in Grady county near Cairo
