Burke County GaArchives Cemeteries.....Smith Chapel Cemetery - Complete Survey ************************************************ Copyright. All rights reserved. http://www.usgwarchives.net/copyright.htm http://www.usgwarchives.net/ga/gafiles.htm ************************************************ File contributed for use in USGenWeb Archives by: Brenda Drews http://www.genrecords.net/emailregistry/vols/00012.html#0002891 and Newman October 23, 2004, 7:32 pm Abstracted By: Brenda Drews and Newman Smith Chapel Cemetery is located on Smith Chapel Road just off Griffin Landing in Girard, Burke County, Georgia. Griffin Landing is located off Hwy 23. The roads are well marked and was easy to find. I have posted here 137 Marked Graves, there are at least that many more that are only marked with a concrete slab over the grave, but no markings, and probably just as many damaged, broken, missing markers. There is only one other marker that I was not able to get too as it is located at the base of a cedar bush facing the trunk, therefore I couldn't get to it to read it.
