It’s the final resting place for her great-great-great-grandmother, but Anita Howard-Dixon said saving the cemetery in Dublin is more than just that -- she calls it “justice.” Howard-Dixon ’s relative, Mary Brown , was a slave who was freed in the 1830s and settled in Dublin . She and her husband owned land off of what is now Shier-Rings Road.
