There are also sinks scattered throughout the cemetery area. Some of the graves have old glass vases that have turned a beautiful shade of purple from the years of being out in the sun. There is a one room school house that is still standing on the side of the cemetery. It is located about fifteen miles north of Georgetown off the old Lumpkin Highway.
