Craigmiles III) is located in Thomas County, GA near the town of Ochlocknee. It is very near the intersection of McMillan and Maddox Roads. Looking south across McMillan Road, a cluster of trees (cemetery location) can be seen several hundred feet from McMillan road. The cluster of trees can easily be seen looking across from Walden Cemetery which is on the north side of McMillan Road. There is no public access for SINGLETARY CEMETERY #1. To locate SINGLETARY #1 CEMETERY, go south from the town of Ochlocknee on Stewart Road for about two or three miles and turn right (west) on McMillan Road, and then drive two or three more miles to the intersection of Maddox Road. The cemetery is on the left side of McMcMillan going west, several hundred feet before reaching Maddox Road. Singletary, Joseph 13 Nov 1821 26 Sep 1906 "He was an unbelievable Christian man" (Husband of Nancy Singletry) Singletary, Nancy 1 Mar 1819 6 Mar 1874 "She believed and sleeps in Jesus" (Wife of Joseph Singletary) COMMENTS: The survey published by Craigmiles indicates George Singletary was also buried in this cemetery. However, in its present uncared for condition, George's grav e marker could not be found. Craigmiles survey did NOT include Joseph's wife Nan cy Singletary. Joseph "Mill Joe" Singletary operated a saw mill in the Pine Park area. Joseph was the son of Willis Singletary and Willis' first wife, Mary Woo d. Joseph built a house on Railroad Street in Ochlocknee where he and his second wife, Mrs. Teresa (Bowen) Lindsey lived until they died. Nancy Singletary was a daughter of Brayton Singletary and Brayton's first wife, Mary Feeeman. Craigmiles' survey of SINGLETARY CEMETERY #1, lists only two graves: Singletary George Sept. 21, 1854-Dec. 30, 1890 Joseph Nov. 19, 1821-Sept. 26, 1906. (It is well-known that George Singletary was a son of Joseph Singletary and Nancy Singletary, so he might well have been buried in this cemetery. George was an invalid and remained single all his life.) Note: Information in parentheses is not actually inscribed on the tombstone.
