DRISKELL CEMETERY

The Driskell Cemetery was in Land Lot 108 in the Fifth District of Monroe County and was included in land formerly owned by John W. G. Greer, Jr., James Monroe Driskell, Sr. and Thomas Jefferson Driskell.  

It was a small four-grave cemetery that was begun on the
farm of James Monroe Driskell, Sr. when his teenage
daughter, Mary Elizabeth Driskell, died about 1860.
His wife, Elizabeth, died about 1892 and he died in 1896.
The other grave is that of his son, James Monroe
Driskell, Jr., who died in 1918.

Three of the graves were marked with slabs but no names
and the other one by a depression in the ground,
according to the plat made by Georgia Power Company.
