The record — long form
Evergreen is the Fairfield ledger — the '1839' that's the founded with the town, the '11,000' that's the buried since '70. The 'Yanceys' is the first Black — the 'born enslaved' that's the West Virginia, the 'Oberlin educated' that's the came to run a station. The 'barbershop-laundry' is the front — the 'James' that's the cut hair, the 'Nancy' that's the washed sheets while hiding people.
The 'Coffin' is the passed through — the '3,000 helped' that's the president's number, the 'run out of town' that's the before Fairfield. The 'clandestine' is the style — the 'land office' that's the mixed crowds, the 'barns' that's the Hinshaws and Hayes and Stubbs. Evergreen is the listed — the 'September' that's the '23 new sites, the 'headstones and unmarked' that's the both count.
The file keeps Evergreen: the Yancey station, Coffin's shadow, the barns, and the stones.
