Nebo Cemetery Gilmer County, Georgia - Mountaintown District Survey Taken: January 16,1999 Historical Information about cemetery: Mt. Nebo Methodist Church was an active church during the Civil War and during this time a split occurred into North and South. Some of the parishioners formed Gates Chapel Methodist Church. Nothing remains of the site now except the cemetery where a number of the community's earliest settlers are buried. This information taken from the historical information provided by Anita Summers for Gates Chapel United Methodist Church. Directions to cemetery: From Ellijay, Gilmer Co. Georgia, take Ga. 52 (Chatsworth Hwy) west approximately Four miles to Gates Chapel Road on the right. Travel approximately 2 1/2 miles to a small narrow drive that angles off to the right. At present there is a small sigh on a tree marking the cemetery. The survey was recorded by starting at the road and working back in rows, but is Listed in alphabetical order by surname only. Anything other than inscriptions will be designated as notes. Individual stones are separated by a space.
