LANIER CEMETERY # 50 Located about 6 miles North of Metter on 121, about 2 miles East of 121 on Road 103, then turn South on Road 105 the cemetery is about 40 yds East of 105. There are no visible graves or markers. Large oak trees and some cedars remain in an area that is approximately 50 feet square. Cultivated ground is around the area. Some sunken areas are visible, but could not determine if it was a grave site. This cemetery is located on the Old Jeff Lanier place, near the W. J. Watson home place. In 1999 this cemetery was demolished. The trees were bulldozed down and burned and the land is now in cultivation. It is presently owned by Bill Patterson. Survey Crew: Betty W.
