Veal Smith Family Cemetery Inscriptions DeKalb County, GA

VEAL - SMITH FAMILY CEMETERY
DEKALB CO. GA


This cemetery is between two houses on Lost Colony Rd off Hairston Rd in 
DeKalb Co.  It is across the street from 4827 Lost Colony in a cluster 
of trees and poison oak.

The cemetery is in sad shape. It has been neglected and vandalized. 
Only one stone in still standing.  The rest are lying flat on the ground, 
one has the head of the lamb on it broken off. The graves are in order I 
could tell but it was so overgrown with trees it was difficult to tell.
