If we went in, we had to have an escort to guide us so we wouldn't get hurt. Records reflect that five cemetery sites are located on the Camp Blanding Military Reservation. Four of these are civilian cemeteries and one formerly a World War II Prisoner of War Cemetery. The four civilian cemeteries were formerly associated with a church or congregation and existed on the land, which was acquired when Camp Blanding was established in 1939. During World War II, a German Prisoner of War Cemetery was established to provide a burial place for deceased prisoners of war who were detained there. This cemetery was closed 25 April, 1946 and the deceased moved to Ft. Benning Georgia National Cemetery. All of the cemeteries are marked and fenced. Access roads and trails leading to them are clear and passable. Visitors must use caution as the trails are narrow and rough and in some instances seasonal vegetation may scratch the automobile finish.

However, as the roster found seems to have come from some other source (church records?) there is no way to reconcile the list and the physical survey. The cemetery is in good condition. Stones are for the most part upright. The fence is in good condition. No vandalism observed. The cemetery requires general groundskeeping activity, estimate: 5 hours.
