Land Lot 231, Land District 3, Taylor County, Ga.

Directions to the cemetery are as follows. From US Hwy 19 at
Rupert (by Coopers Old Store) go west on Hwy 90/127 toward Mauk
about 1.8 miles and turn left on C.R. #20 (toward Cedar Creek
Country Club ). Go about 1.7 miles and turn left on C.R. # 25
which is dirt road. Go about six and a half Tenths of a mile
and look on left for a white metal pole and a tree with double
white bands painted on it. This will be at the South edge of a
stand of large trees. Other trees are planted pines all around.
I flagged a path with blue and red survey flagging about 50
yards to the graves and put flagging on sticks at head and foot
of eight graves. Four are marked with slabs or headstones and
four are marked with rocks same as in Hill Cemetery at head and
foot.

4 unmarked graves
Information on these possible unmarked graves from:
Pdukesmaier@aol.com Peggy Dukes Maier

Known information regarding Henry's and Martha's four unmarried daughters buried in this cemetery is as follows:
 
Mary Eva Duke - born 1848.
 
Louisa A. Duke - born 1850.
 
Susan Parasaide Duke - born 1858.  Susan had a son,
Charlston, who is also buried in this cemetery. The
name of his father is not known.  No record of being
married.
 
Elizabeth Jane Duke - born 1864.
 
I cannot determine the daughters' death dates, as
there is no census record of the H. N. Duke Family
after the 1880 census.

Triplets who died at birth, and whose Mother was
Clara Jane Hill Lane,  are buried in this cemetery,
too.  We do not know if the triplets were buried in
one grave.

We know that there are 13 people  buried in this
cemetery.  We know that there are five graves marked
with names.  We do not know which of the remaining
eight are buried in the four graves marked with
rocks.
 


In They Tarried in Taylor 1880 census is H(enry) N.
Duke aged 61 born in S.C. and widower of Martha.
Their children are listed on the Census. They are
also listed in the 1860 and 1870 census.
