The church itself is located at the corner of Open Pond Road and Old 179. I found this cemetery while in search of the Knight Grave Yard. I cannot be sure that this is the cemetery once known as Knight's, but I can be sure that many of the markers are gone forever, as there is no evidence of them anywhere. The cemetery is badly overgrown, and though there are depressions that are obviously sunken graves, those depressions are the only markers left to identify them as such. There appears to have been some effort to have protected this small site at one time, as there is an old fence all around it. Family members of some of these individuals can be found in Trinity's Cemetery records, as recorded by the Latter-Day Saints (transcript at their Family Search Center in Tallahassee, Leon Co., FL). I do not know where Trinity's cemetery might be. I hope this might be of help to someone; the marker I was looking for was not there...I would not want anyone else to meet with that disappointment, and know that I could have helped. These are the only markers left in an old cemetery which once measured, I believe, approximately 1/2 - 1 acre. There is no particular order for these markers. At the front corner is PF Cloud...most of the Bishops are located near the back of the cemetery, from the direction I entered. The Logues are mostly to the right, beginning near the front, while the Hudson children are directly to the left of them. The others are located largely between the Logues & Hudsons at the front and the Bishops at the rear. P. F.

GusUse D son of J H and Eudoxy Hudson born August 25th 1883 died September 10th 1884 Asleep in Jesus Blessed sleep from which nun (sic) ever wakes to weep There is a child's marker here. The engraved marker has broken off and been l ain on top of the crypt-like slab. Unfortunately it has weathered badly. A rubbing would probably identify the wording, but I did not have suitable materials. I could identify the word daughter, but not the name or dates. She lies between 2 children of Mr & Mrs JH Hudson Bernice Hudson daughter of Mr & Mrs JH Hudson was born February 8, 1892 and died February 9, 1894 **** -----Original Message----- From: Kirbert [mailto:palmk@nettally.com] Sent: 07 April 2015 18:46 To: debra@genrecords.org; gendata7@aol.com Subject: Grady County Cemeteries - Knight Cemetery The USGenWeb site for Grady County lists Knight Cemetery and describes it as being "in the woods about a half mile past Trinity United Methodist Church in Grady County, GA. The church itself is located at the corner of Open Pond Road and Old 179." Trinity Church is on Trinity Road, and nowhere near the intersection of Open Pond Road and Old 179. I haven't been out there to double- check yet, but as far as I can tell there is no church at the corner of Open Pond Road and Old 179.....Kirbert ****
