Comments
A student who grew up in Coldwater affirmed it was all-white, but didn’t know if it was sundown. Nearby was a black community [perhaps mixed, with blacks in it], Carthagena, named after Carthage, dated to before Civil War, which then became the site of some sort of [white] Catholic seminary. Coldwater and the area are heavily German Catholic. The blacks vanished slowly from Carthagena.
