The Black Family Cemetery is located on DuncanSwindle Road near 
Ila, GA.  From Interstate 85 and Hwy 441, travel south on Hwy 441 
6.5 miles.  Turn East on Hwy 98 toward Ila, GA.  Travel 6 miles and 
turn South on Duncan Swindle road.  The Cemetery is located about 
.75 miles on the West side of the road and sets about 175 feet from 
the road.  
 
This report is generated from an on-site reading survey on 
June 6, 2001 and represents the present condition on this date.  
The Cemetery has not been researched to determine its history or 
if other past readings are available.  It is unknown if a present 
or past sexton or caretaker notes are available.  The Cemetery is 
in poor condition and located (hidden) in an est. 1/2 acre wooded
area of a fallow pasture field.  The site does not appear in 
Geological Survey maps, however the site is marked by a county road 
sign at the main intersection of hwy 98 and again at the roadside 
site.  A small section of the Cemetery is fenced with many graves 
located outside of the fenced area.  Thirteen graves are located in 
the fenced area with unreadable flagstone and fieldstone markers.  
An estimated 18 to 24 sites are located outside of the fenced area, 
all are unreadable due to similar condition.
