Partial Survey of Allgood Cemetery (Allgood Names ONLY, no locations within the cemetery)
Data taken August 27, 2000.  Near Drake Town Community, approx. 
12 miles west of Dallas, GA.

NOTE: This survey may be incomplete in so far as the Allgood names are concerned, as we 
were told that there are unmarked graves, and only a limited time was available to 
accomplish the listing.  Comments/items shown in brackets { } were added by the writer.  
An accurate copy of the exact gravestone names, dates, and inscriptions was attempted.  
However, some transcription errors occurred in the initial listing; these have been 
corrected, and are shown in BOLD.  Errors do occur, and for these and possible others, 
the writer apologizes.  Thanks to Ms. Michal Farmer, who has been researching the Allgood 
family for many years, for pointing out some of these errors.
