Quitman County GaArchives Cemeteries.....Bethel Cemetery - Complete Survey ************************************************ Copyright. All rights reserved. http://www.usgwarchives.net/copyright.htm http://www.usgwarchives.net/ga/gafiles.htm ************************************************ File contributed for use in USGenWeb Archives by: Donna Eldridge DonnaEldrid@aol.com July 15, 2004, 7:59 pm Abstracted By: "Cemeteries and Churches of Quitman County, Georgia" by Jacquelyn Shepard This is a large clean cemetery with more unmarked graves than are shown. Large rocks were not used as markers the way they were in most of the cemeteries, instead there are neat mounds of earth. Four of the graves were marked with large square stones, believed to be limestone. Flowers had been placed on many of the unmarked graves. Old glass vases and pitchers were seen here, that in todays market would be quite valuable, were they not broken. They are no longer clear, due to the years of being in the sun, instead they have turned a beautiful shade of purple. There were old kerosene lamp bases that had been used for vases at one time. This cemetery is located in Randolph County. It is just past the Quitman County line on Highway 82. Take the first dirt road to the left and it will lead you to the cemetery.
