Unnamed Cemetery On Bright Star Road

This cemetery is just south of Bankhead Highway, on the west
side of Bright Star Road. It is sometimes referred to as the
Flat Rock cemetery. 

This site was originally that of the
antebellum home of John VanSant's family. A building on the
site was used as a military hospital during the War of Northern
Aggression, and it is believed that some of the graves marked
only by fieldstones and laid out very haphazardly may date from
its use as a hospital. 

The only engraved marker in the cemetery
of perhaps 100 graves is that of a child in the early 20th
century: 

Annie B. Butler
Born April 6, 1928
Died August 19, 1929
