Ga. on right of road approaching Whigham, left approaching Cairo. This Graveyard is covered with huge thick bramble vines, briars, bushes, trees and poison oak. There is evidence of sunken graves. There are many that are marked but no longer legible. There were beer bottles, papers and evidence of vandalism. It is always sad for me to see so much history destroyed by neglect. I am presenting this survey just as I found it on July 6, 2001. It took me 2 hours to fight my way to the graves to obtain the info. Winnette Stinson Rev. Mann Dutton Born Gloucester Co.
