Old Rest Haven Cemetery

This is a very old and large cemetery located in the middle of Griffin Ga. 
The cemetery stretches a long distance on the main road. It is on the opposite side of Old Oak Hill . 
I am told that Famous Doc Holiday has some family members in this cemetery. 

This only a few of the burials.

Special note. 
It looks like Mrs. Mary Clarke Born 1729 - Aug, 27, 1849 may be the oldest resident of the cemetery.

This only a few of the older ones.
