Thompson Morris Cemetery 
Thompson Cemetery Rd.

Colbert, GA (West about 2.5 mi., turn south off Hwy 72
(across RR tracks) onto Timber Ridge Lane. Turn right onto
Thompson Cemetery Rd. (about 0.25 mi. from tracks).;
cemetery is on the left just before the deadend. This
cemetery was the family cemetery of Thompson and Morris
families who owned a good portion of the lands which
surrounded the cemetery.  There were, or course, marriages
between the families.  At this writing, there are still
decendents of the two families living on what is left of the
families' lands.  Most, however, have been sold off over the
years.
