MOSLEY-WILKES CEMETERY
Emanuel County, GA

This abandoned cemetery is located near the intersection of Hwy.
297 and 46. Turn on 46 toward Oak Park, turn right on next dirt road,
go about 1/2 mile and turn left into a dim hunters' road through planted
pines. This will take you to the cemetery.  The land is owned by
Willard Wilkes.

There are remnants remaining of a once-sturdy iron fence, mostly
tangled up
in a tree.  This cemetery has been badly damaged by timber cutters.
