Directions: From I-85, exit at Jimmy Carter Boulevard and proceed NORTH (towards Roswell). Jimmy Carter Boulevard transitions to Holcomb Bridge Road upon crossing Peachtree Industrial Boulevard. Proceed to intersection with Peachtree Corners Circle, and turn RIGHT. Unfenced cemetery with vehicle access located on the LEFT corner of intersection with Spalding Drive. Approximate travel distance from I-85 is 2.3 miles or 3.6 kilometers. Singleton Cemetery rests on open flat terrain donated by the Singletons to benefit families allied with Shiloh Primitive Baptist Church, located on Spalding Drive Ό mile northwest of the cemetery. The site is surrounded by residential neighborhoods (Spalding Bluff / Wynfield Trace) and large trees. Overall condition of the area is fair. Although woody shrub growth is unchecked, there is no active forest encroachment. Site is located in a suburban area adjacent to high traffic thoroughfares and should be monitored for human activity. Singleton Cemetery is in need of a more precise survey, including measurement of dimensions, marking of graves, and a graphical rendering of each physical grave location. Survey initiated from southeast end of cemetery, left to right (with back to Peachtree Corners Circle). The cemetery is loosely organized into 18 rows and contains at least 25 anonymous graves, marked only by fieldstone head or foot markers. Investigator comments contained in brackets. All corrections, suggestions, and queries are welcome. Row 1 JENNINGS Sister 1951 Curtis 1946 Donald 1937 Children of Mr. and Mrs. G.A. Jennings Row 2 Plot 1 KELLY J.
