			Deloach/Ward (abandoned?) Cemetary
		     	(Edgefield County, South Carolina)

Travel Highway 23 (SC 23)north, from Johnston towards Edgefield, and turn left 
onto Two Mile road. Stay on this road for approx. 1.9 miles. (You'll see the 
other end's stop sign). Look to the left, and approx. 50 - 75 yards into a 
field, and you'll see large old magnolia trees. The gravstones are under these 
trees, within a gated area. My daughter, Rachael, noted these in her travels, 
and was kind enough to show us them to document.

Most of these are beginning to "tilt", as the ground starts to sink under the 
growth of the aging trees. Once well maintained, it looks as if the the care-
takers have stopped cleaning it up over the last year or so.
