Take a left onto Coweeta Church Road. The cemetery entrance is about 1/10 of a mile on the left up Coweeta Church Rd. Notes: Some of the tombstones were so eroded that they were difficult to read. Where needed, I have included notes from the old WPA survey that was done in 1940 by Horace J. Hurst to help clarify the dates. Double stone, Gilbreath: Frances R. Gilbreath 1924 - 1991 James H.
