HAMMOND CEMETERY #1
ROCKDALE COUNTY GA


    This cemetery is behind the Highview Southern Baptist Church at the intersection 
of Union Church Rd and Fairview Rd in Rockdale County near the DeKalb County line.  
It is between the back of the church and the back of a house nearby.
    It is a very small, well maintained cemetery that is less than 40 years old (as of 
2004).  There are only 13 graves.
