Wood Cemetery, Chattooga County, Georgia
Recorded on February 21, 2002 by John A. Pennycuff and William L. 
Stephenson (WoodArt@one.net)

This small cemetery is locally referred to as the Wood, or sometimes 
Horton, cemetery.  It is located about a mile walk from the end of 
Valley Spring Road on the north side of the trail road in Shinbone 
Valley of Chattooga County.  The cemetery is quite small with only 
twenty or so small stones with readable inscription.  The cemetery is 
surrounded by barbed wire attached to the trees to prevent animals in 
the adjoining pastureland from damaging the site.  The cemetery does 
not appear to be maintained in any way.  Due to the remoteness, it 
could soon fall into the category of lost and forgotten burial grounds.

We hope that by recording and publishing the site, the data will be 
available for future generations searching their family history.
