It is on Memorial Dr. off Hwy 136 (the state highway between Trenton GA and LaFayette, GA on Lookout mountain) near Lookout Lake. At the time this cemetery was surveyed you could rent a canoe and fish in the lake. I lived on the “highway” within walking distance of this cemetery. I did more than the usual transcription. I took my survey to Thelma Massey Bradford, Floyd Bradford (both have since passed on) and to Aunt Bill and to other old timers and they told me who was who. Where there is evidence that a fieldstone has been placed to indicate a grave or where a sunken in place I have indicated as such. Anywhere I thought might possibly be a marker is indicated. While I was surveying this cemetery, Stella Brown was visiting at the cemetery and told me that her mother & father-in-law are buried close to the BROWNS. Their names are: Melton & Emmie Brown, dates unknown. SHELTON, William BRADFORD, C.M. Shorty 1864-1953 27 Nov 1915 & 11 Jan 1969 SHELTON, Nettie (s/o Marshall G. Bradford) 1870-1956 & SHELTON, W.
