BAZEMORE - SMITH FAMILY CEMETERY

Location:  Hitchiti Experimental Forest just east of
Wayside, Ga. 

This cemetery is located at the old home site dating from about 1807.  The
Forest Service has been kind enough to clear a foot trail to this cemetery. 

  From Wayside follow Five Points Road to the intersection with Cuyler
Road.  Turn right (North) on Cuyler Road and go approximately two miles.
After passing the gate to the Hitchiti Experimental Forest continue for
3/10 mile to a Forest Service sign on the right that reads "Foot Traffic
Welcome."  There is a cleared trail directly to the cemetery several
hundred yards into the forest.  The home site is located about 50 yards
West of the sign on the right on a bluff no more than 25 feet from the road.
