A very large granite monument is located here identifying
this site as the original burial place of Silas Mercer
and his wife, Dorcas Mercer.  A stone placed by the
Georgia Baptist Asso-ciation states that the remains of
Silas and Dorcas Mercer were removed and reinterred in
front of Philllps Mill Baptist Church on Oct. 12, 1976.

This cemetery is just inside the Tallaferro County line
near Wilkes County and the Ficklin community.  It can be
found by turning west onto an unimproved county road from
Georgia Highway 47 at Ficklin.  Less than 1 mile west of
Highway 47 this dirt road makes a deep bend to the south.
Just around this bend is a relatively good field road to
the west. The cemetery is about 1 mile down this field
road on the right.
