The Oberlin cemetery—where the rescuers rest.

A cemetery in Oberlin, Ohio, an NPS Network to Freedom, Westwood Cemetery is filed here for what the record attaches to it. The Oberlin cemetery—where the rescuers rest. It sits in the archive under Underground Railroad history, the Underground Railroad and African American history. The dossier holds 2 documented facts — a documented spine with no haunting reports attached. The grounds are open to visitors.

Westwood is the rested — the 'runaway slaves' that's the stayed to die free, the 'abolitionists' that's the beside them buried. The 'Dobbins' is the youngest — the 'four years old' that's the mother's trust, the 'died en route' that's the freedom's price. The 'Cox' is the daring — the 'posed as slave' that's the catchers baited, the 'Lovejoy's press' that's the river retrieved.
The '1864' is the dedicated — the '47 acres' that's the Morgan Street, the '9,200 burials' that's the only cemetery. The 'Oberlin' is the safe — the 'so safe' that's the fugitives stayed, the 'Faces of Change' that's the tour's name. Westwood is the enrolled — the 'college town' that's the integrated educated, the 'North Star' that's the Douglass's direction ended.
The file keeps Westwood: the stayed-to-die, the child's grave, Cox's disguise, and the '64 dedication.
Westwood is the archive's Ohio file — where the escaped chose to rest.

WHY THIS FILE MATTERS
