Copyrighted by Monroe County Historical Society 2005. Glawson Cemetery: S.B. Glawson F.F. Glawson Willa Lea Glawson ======================== Note posted on Monroe Co, Ancestry Surname Board 7/17/2014: Stoddard Boynton Glawson Sr., his wife Emily Franks Glawson and daughter Willa Lea Glawson. According to census record of 1870, Stoddard and Emily Glawson had a daughter "Willa". I do not have a death date for Willa, though Stoddard died in 1898 and Emily in 1899. The cemetery record states the second grave as "F.F. Glawson" but I have to believe it was really "E.F.'' -- for Emily Franks, but perhaps not very legible. These graves were relocated to the Juliette Methodist Church. They are interred on the opposite side of the church from the church's main cemetery, inside a fenced area. ================ Location within Plant Scherer Cemetery I: See plat. I Original Location: Land Lot 169,[Land District 5] 466 GMD, Monroe County [1 land lot above Rum Creek which runs through 168; 4 land lots west of Ocmulgee - diagonal to LL151] Acreage: 0.231 acre Number of Gravesites:10 Description of Gravesites: Originally, seven graves were marked by rocks and three were marked by concrete slabs.. One slab also had a concrete headstone. Now all of the graves are marked by numbered granite markers supplied by GPC. . Condemnation Proceedings: Civil Action # 8510, Monroe County Superior Court. A release dated October 25, 1975, was signed by Standard G. Bowdoin, heir of S.B. Glawson, F. F. and Willa Lea Glawson, who are buried in this cemetery, agreeing to the removal and relocation of these graves. Map Reference:N-84-20, M-154-2. Identity of persons known to be buried there: S.B. Glawson F.F. Glawson Willa Lea Glawson .Numbered granite markers at the head of the plots so that it would be possible to identify where each grave had been at its original location. Plant Scherer Cemetery I: This cemetery, which is located on property formerly owned by the Zellner family,contains eight smaller cemeteries relocated from the project site.In most cases the orientation of the new site is identical to the original.A few of the cemeteries,however, were reconstructed in a more orderly fashion than the original site. Any differences between the original site and the relocated graves is noted in the following description of the graves. The entire relocation tract covers an area of 3.11 acres. There is a chain-link fence surrounding the entire site and one running through the middle of the tract separating some of the cemeteries the following from others. Plant Scherer Cemetery is the name of the relocation area those cemeteries were moved to. Plant Scherer is a Georgia Power electrical generating plant and I assume the cemeteries were relocated to their plant site.
