Olive Rd. until you come to the intersection of Ga. 112 and Mt. Olive Rd. (The Mt. Olive Church is on your right). Cross Ga. 112 and go approximately 3.4 miles and you will come to a bridge – go approximately .4 of a mile past the bridge and their will be a small drive on your left (right next to a large concrete utility pole). Turn into that drive and go about 75 yards, the drive will turn to the right, as you begin your turn you will see a neglected drive to your left – take this drive and you will come to the cemetery in just a few yards. This is not a very well kept cemetery and is hard to find. From: Camilla, Ga. – Take Ga. 112 (toward Cairo, Ga.) until you get to the intersection of Mt. Olive Rd., & Ga. 112. Turn right onto Mt. Olive Rd., and follow the above instructions from Ga. 112. This survey was done by James Lester Piland, Jr., on February 23, 2004. Any personal remarks are enclosed in ( ).
