Olive is located on Dale Co. Hwy 51, about 1 " miles North of the Coffee County line. It is just South of the community of Rocky Head which is South of US 231. I have been told by the people who still have the original plats of the cemetery that it was the cemetery of a Primitive Baptist Church which no longer exists and became a community cemetery. This tombstone transcription was done by Charlotte Cotton Wolf beginning in June, 2000. The cemetery was surveyed in two sections: South and North. The North Section follows after the South in this listing. MT. Olive Cemetery - SOUTH Section Listed row by row beginning with the South section. Starting in the SE corner and going Left to Right, ending at the center road of the cemetery. There will be a blank line between headstones. ROW 1 JACOBS, Ada G., b. Feb 22, 1895 - d.

If you need a photo of a tombstone, contact Wolfhaven90@aol.com. In order to simplify the numbering process, I will begin numbering the North Section with Row 1N to be able to determine which side of the center line the row lies.
