Dodge County GaArchives Cemeteries.....Shaw Family Cemetery - Complete Survey ************************************************ Copyright. All rights reserved. http://www.usgwarchives.net/copyright.htm http://www.usgwarchives.net/ga/gafiles.htm ************************************************ File contributed for use in USGenWeb Archives by: Mary West jimmielou11@bellsouth.net June 21, 2004, 3:35 pm Abstracted By: Mary West This cemetery is in Lithonia on Old Covington Hwy. From the intersection of Old Covington and Turner Hill Rd., go east on Old Covington just over 1/2 mile. Just before the E-Z Pay Motors at 7762 Old Covington there is a blocked off driveway. There is room for a car to pull in and park. Walk around the chain across the drive and on the left is a chain link fence, which surrounds the cemetery. There is a gate in front. There has been no vandalism other than one stone, which is knocked over. Only the tall stones are visible over the overgrown grass so finding all the stones can be hit or miss. In the winter there may be more visible.

Jan 14, 1883 Nov 14, 1947 Additional Comments: Franklin Garrett’s transcription also notes a Vivunodell Shaw (infant) and an Addie Bell Shaw (also infant) whose stones I did not see but they could have been hidden in the tall grass or been on the stone that was toppled over. He described several other visible graves with no inscribed markers. There were several uninscribed markers but no noticeable graves beyond those.
