Asbury Church Cemetery Inscriptions Macon County, GA

ASBURY CHURCH CEMETERY (PRIVATE)  

Macon County

Located on the Malachi Farm, east of Marshallville off Highway 127.  
The distance between the burying ground and the church makes us 
question if this was family cemetery rather than one 
connected to the church.

Johnny, son of J.C. Postell
3 March 1828  5 August 1850
Age 22 years & 6 Mos.
"A dutiful son, beloved while living, lamented when dead
he left the world in hope of a better inheritance"


In Memory of Our Father,
