To reach it, you drive through the driveway of the late Martha Green; the road twists and turns through a pecah orchard and you arrive at the cemetery. It is on the edge and between a pecan and peach orchard. Several large cedar trees cover the cemetery, which is protected by a hurricane fence. James Jackson Murray donated the land for the cemetery. He built his home (which is still standing and occupied) at the first road to your left as you travel south on GA Highway 49. The road is not paved. There is a beautiful sign at the cemetery; carved by one of the descendants of James Jackson Murray and depicts his house as it was when he lived in it. A family reunion is held yearly at the cemetery in March. Contact: Skeet Brown Located behind Martha Green's house, about 300 yards from State Highway 49, at the rear of a peach orchard.
