"Bill" Stephenson, Jr. Recorded by William L. ""Bill"" Stephenson, Jr. and Katherine M. Stephenson November 21 - 22, 1999 [Information in brackets was added by the recorders for clarity.] Ami Cemetery is located on the Jamestown Road which runs westerly from "Menlo, Chattooga Co., GA to Blanche, Cherokee Co., AL. The road is a " secondary county road. The cemetery is located on the north side of the road just before the state line. Land is being cleared to the west which may be for expansion of the cemetery. The current cemetery area is about three acres in size. "The cemetery is in two parts, the part to the east is smaller in size and is" reputed to be reserved for blacks. The larger part is to the west across a small wooded creek. For the most part the cemetery is well maintained. Only a few markers have been displaced. There are areas (plots) within both portions of the cemetery property which are are grown over with vegetation and have not been mowed or otherwise maintained which may indicate that the maintenance is handled on a by family basis.
