COWETA County News

Col. J.D. Morgan and his brother David are over here pailing the grave of 
their father who died several years ago and whose remains sleep in the silent 
tomb at Macedonia church. Uncle Jimmie was a good man and beloved by all who 
knew him, and we hope that his children's children will keep up the example of 
his two sons. 

Sometimes when we pass dilapidated graveyards and see the neglected graves of 
the dead, we can but wonder and ask ourselves the question, where are the 
relatives of this one and that one? Did they die without friends? And again we 
ask, where are the church people who talk of the pious dead? The neglect of 
our departed friends is a shame on the living. 


Additional Comments:
The sentiment at the bottom of the article regarding the grave of  James 
"Uncle Jimmie" Morgan still seems to ring true 125 years later.

His grave is at:

Macedonia Cemetery
Hwy 70 north of Newnan, Coweta Co., Georgia.
James Morgan
27 Jan 1804 - 1 Dec 1876
