Lord Family Cemetery Inscriptions Wilkinson County, GA Directions to cemetery: Leaving Toomsboro on HWY 112 (west) go approximately 3 miles to the first paved road to the left. This is Ball's Ferry Road. Lord Cemetery Road is about one mile down on the left. It is a dirt road, and is marked. Cemetery is about 1/4 mile down on the left. Row #1 is the first row to the far left as you go in the gate. The Rows continue on left to right. The first grave in each Row is the grave that is closest to the fence. There are several spaces that have no stones or other obvious signs of graves. There was once an old homesite beside the cemetery, and my mother tells me that the children used to play in and around the cemetery, thus several headstones were damaged in this way. Other headstones have been damaged by the elements. The cemetery has a marker at the gate entrance identifying it as Lord Family Cemetery. It is cleaned and maintained by Mary Holland Duke and her husband C. W. Duke. ROW #1 INFANT CHILD OF H.L.& MARY COX.
