A shorter route is to follow County Rd. 28 from nearer the Hancock-Taliaferro line, but County Rd. 28 can be muddy and may not be passable at all times.

Part of this cemetery is surrounded by a stone wall, approximately 50 feet by 30 feet.

We include the cemetery in the Hancock County website because, prior to 1830, this area was part of Hancock County.

Name and information on this cemetery was provided by Ed D. Rudisill of Mableton, Ga.
